The presentation corresponds to the program discussion in Chapter 4 

 of the NRC report, UNESCO Science Programs; Impacts of U.S. Withdrawal 

 and Suggestions for Alternative Interim Arrangements, A Preliminary 

 Assessment . 



At the beginning of each program, there is an overall comment 

 followed by options for alternative arrangements to maintain U.S. 

 scientific interactions. The content of the individual programs are 

 summarized with identification of interactions with other governmental 

 and nongovernmental organizations. (See UNESCO Approved Programme and 

 Budget for 1984-85 for additional details.) A brief summary of pro- 

 grams V.2, VII, and General Activities (these are not discussed in the 

 NRC report) is presented at the end of the Supplement. 



At the recfuest of the Department of State, an attempt has been made 

 to characterize the programs using the following codes: 



(1) primarily of concern to the U.S. scientific community; 

 (2> primarily of concern to the scientific community of the 

 developing world; 



and within each of these categories: 



(a) high value; 



(b) medium value or unknown; 



(c) marginal or no value.
