Former foreign service colleagues have helped and encouraged me with this project.  Francis M. Kinnelly generously shared his unpublished manuscript on the origins of the science officer program and a transcript of an oral history interview he gave in 1997 to the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training conducted by the Foreign Service Institute and Georgetown University.  Philip W. Hemily provided information about the science program and science officers at NATO.  Myron Kratzer kindly gave me details on the transition from the old science bureau at State to the new one in 1973-5.  Wilfred F. Declerc kept me supplied with press clippings I needed from Washington.

From her home in Meudon near Paris Mme. Alice Frank kindly sent additional information on transborder data flows and the protection of privacy, a subject on which she worked at OECD before her retirement.

I am grateful to the staff of the Ashland (Oregon) branch of the Jackson County Library Services for obtaining books I wanted and helping me find what I needed on the Internet.
