APPENDIX D 



BEB MEMBERS AND STAFF PARTICIPATION IN OVERSEAS 

 CONSULTING AND INTERNATIONAL MEETINGS 



Soon after the end of World War II, the program of the BEB began to encompass work 

 outside tlie United States. BEB members and staff increasingly provided consultation 

 services on coastal problems abroad, often in connection with Federal aid and defense 

 activities. These efforts were representative of the trend toward the internationalism of 

 coastal engineering commented upon within the text. 



The following is a list of the countries, territories, and other locations which BEB 

 members or staff visited between 1945 and 1963. Also included are the international 

 meetings at which the BEB was represented, together with staff visits to national hydraulic 

 laboratories abroad.
