The Principal Investigator was requested by NAMRU~3 in Cairo 
to sever all formal research contact with Israeli scientists, if he 
wanted to continue working in Egypt. This was accomplished during 
1970 when formal direction for the PL 480 portion of the Israel project 
was turned over to Dr, Helmut K. Buechner of the Snithsonian Institution, 
Informal contact with the ongoing Israel bird banding is maintained 
through Dr. Buechner. In addition, it is intended that Mr. Steven 
Peterson (presently a graduate student in the Department of Zoology, 
University of Wisconsin) will collaborate in writing the banding re- 
suits for publication with Miss Bruria Glovinsky and Dr. Uriel Safriel 
who have continued banding in 1971.
