Comment ; These areas are concerned with further implementation of 

 Section III of the overall IHP program, and with a large number of 

 interactions with governmental and nongovernmental organizations in 

 several regions of the world. The simplest and most effective way of 

 supporting this multilateral cooperative work would be provision of the 

 current magnitude of U.S. contribution to Funds-in-Trust at a level of 

 $300,000/year (including overhead). Another option would involve in- 

 terim managanent and provision of this level of support (S300,000/year) 

 to related cooperative activities through ICSU and/or one of its 

 associated bodies. Both options would require U.S. oversight, as noted 

 in X.3.1, above.
