As in previous years, helpful cooperation in carrying on the River 

 Basin Surveys program was received from the National Park Service, 

 the Bureau of Reclamation, the Corps of Engineers, and various 

 State and local institutions. The Corps of Engineers provided 

 transportation and guides for the work in two reservoir areas. 

 Temporary headquarters and living accommodations were made 

 available at several projects. The construction agency in several in-

 cavations. The University of Washington at Seattle provided a base 

 of operations and laboratory space for the Snake River party, while 

 the University of Georgia furnished similar accommodations for the 

 party working at the Hartwell Reservoir in Georgia. The field 

 personnel of all the agencies was particularly helpful to the 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. It also prepared the estimates and justifications needed 

 to procure funds to support the Salvage Program. Throughout all 

 the Park Service regions the regional directors and members of their 

 staffs cooperated whole-heartedly in the program. 



The main office in Washington continued general supervision of 

 the program, while the field headquarters and laboratory at Lincoln,
