The River Basin Surveys, as in previous years, received helpful 

 cooperation from the National Park Service, the Bureau of Recla- 

 mation, and the Corps of Engineers, and various State and local insti- 

 tutions. The Corps of Engineers provided transportation and 

 guides for work in one of the reservoir areas and provided temporary 

 field headquarters for a party in another area. In several instances 

 mechanical equipment to assist in heavy excavations was made avail- 

 able by the construction agency. Field personnel of all the agencies 

 was particularly helpful to the various party leaders from the River 

 Basin Surveys and expedited their activities in numerous ways. The 

 National Park Service continued to serve as the liaison between the 

 various agencies, both in Washington and in the field. The Park 

 Service also prepared the estimates and justifications for the funds 

 needed to carry on the salvage program. In the several Park Service 

 regions the regional directors and members of their staffs cooperated 

 wholeheartedly in the program and greatly aided all phases of the 

 operations. 



The main office in Washington continued general supervision of 

 the program. The field headquarters and laboratory at Lincoln,

 also provided a base of operations for the party which worked at the
