THE GLOBAL ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH PROGRAM 161 



As the human race as a whole presses ever more strongly on the 

 resources of our finite globe, more and more such problems will un- 

 doubtedly emerge and will not only benefit from, but indeed will de- 

 mand coordinated attention by the scientific communities of all 

 countries. For the United States, the type of international cooperative 

 activity exemplified by GARP may prove to be an indispensable tool 

 for our own survival.
