life contingency plans are being developed 

 and materials to handle future emergencies 

 are being stockpiled. Basic research is being 

 continued on the difficult problems inherent 

 in achieving high survival levels and a rapid 

 return to the wild, at a reasonable cost. 



Much more must be done, but these pioneer- 

 ing efforts both within and outside of indus- 

 try reflect a difficult problem yielding to the 

 time and attention of dedicated men and 

 women.
