national exchanges. Unfortunately, one must rely on anecdotal evi- 

 dence available through extensive contacts and interviews with 

 Western European science policy officials and educational authorities. 

 The picture of a dramatic decrease in the U.S. presence at mid-career 

 and senior levels in Western European research institutions was 

 brought out at the June 1981 Lisbon Workshop on International Mo- 

 bility of Scientists and Engineers discussed below. Similarly, Kidd^ 

 has underscored this significant decrease through interviews with 

 Western European authorities; there was a unanimous opinion that a 

 serious decline in U.S. senior-level researchers taking up foreign ap- 

 pointments had occurred. 



NATO Fellowship Program. The picture of postdoctoral fellow- 

 ship support available to U.S. Ph.D.s would be incomplete without 

 reference to the invaluable, consistent contribution of the NATO Sci- 

 ence Fellowship Program. This broad-based civil science program, es- 

 tablished in 1958 also partly in response to Sputnik, offers a flexible 

 mechanism to enhance collaboration among scientists in the 16 Alii-
