The River Basin Surveys, as in previous years, received helpful 
cooperation from the National Park Service, the Bureau of Recla- 
mation, and the Corps of Engineers, and various State and local insti- 
tutions. The Corps of Engineers provided transportation and 
guides for work in one of the reservoir areas and provided temporary 
field headquarters for a party in another area. In several instances 
mechanical equipment to assist in heavy excavations was made avail- 
able by the construction agency. Field personnel of all the agencies 
was particularly helpful to the various party leaders from the River 
Basin Surveys and expedited their activities in numerous ways. The 
National Park Service continued to serve as the liaison between the 
various agencies, both in Washington and in the field. The Park 
Service also prepared the estimates and justifications for the funds 
needed to carry on the salvage program. In the several Park Service 
regions the regional directors and members of their staffs cooperated 
wholeheartedly in the program and greatly aided all phases of the 
operations. 
The main office in Washington continued general supervision of 
the program. The field headquarters and laboratory at Lincoln, 
Nebr., was responsible for the activities in the Missouri Basin and 
also provided a base of operations for the party which worked at the
