a<!dition to thoso foreign cxchan«;e costs, there will be ex- 

 penses that can be paid in PL 480 rupees. 



In selecting theas projects and assigning priori- 

 ties vvc have been guided by the follorlng consicieraticns; 



1. investigations involving only data collection 

 should be carried out by the Government ef Pakistan, 

 possibly trith technical assistance from the US Operations 

 Mission in Pakistan. Such investigations do not fall .vith- 

 in the cognizance of the rosoarch division of AID, and 



are not included aaong the projects outlined herein. 



2. Investigations requiring sophisticated surveys, 

 analysis, or experiacnt.ition coui.5 be pjrtly supported by 

 the Govornotint of Pakistan and iiirtly by the reioarch 

 divi-^ion of AID or, in c.ii^es vhere only US personnel are 

 involved, entirely, by tho research division of AID. 



.?. The selected project." shoMl! be relevant and 

 laj»ortant to tho solution of the probleas of agricultural 

 developmont in West Pakistan. 



4. The projects yhoul-l contribute to the devolop- 

 aont of aethods and techniques which have wide ajiplica- 

 biiity in less developed countries. 



5. Wherever possible, selected projects should 

 involve education and traininj: of Pakistanis, with the 

 obj>C!tive of transferring the projects to the Govorament 

 of Pakistan as soon as practicable. 



6. Selected projects should be aiaiad at increas- 

 inf, the efficiency of technical assistance programs in 

 Pakistan and elsewhere. 



7. In a-islgnins a priority to a project, de- 

 termining factors are: (l) the iai-ortancc of the prubicm; 



(2) the time i.hen the results t>^^ill be needed in the uro- 

 0raa of agricultural development, in Wsst Paki :tan; and 



(3) the time roq;<*irpd to obtain tho.e results. For ex- 

 ample, the development of hi-^her yielding plant varieties 

 will take at least five years, and the results are needed 

 as soon as possible; hence this is a first priority pro- 

 ject. 



One project which is not listed but to yhich I 

 tvould give an extremely high priority ia a jnulti- 

 disciplinary analysis of tho problems of East Pakistan, 

 along the linos «ve have attenptod in our panel report. 

 This '.rould Involve first an identification and formulation 

 of the f undaaasntal problem or prcbleas of East Pakistan, 

 and then an attempt, using various methods of analysis, 

 to arrive at a plan for attacking these problems. Ancng 

 the elecsc-nts '>hat sitr.ht bo Involv^id are:
