Mosher to participate in the work of the Committee on Foreign Affairs Personnel (the Herter Committee) in Wash ington, D.C., throughout 1962. Since that time, Author have had the exceptional opportunity of being able to study his subject at close hand. Professor Mosher has continued to provide guidance and support, and he owe himself a special debt of gratitude. He was grateful also for the help and interest of Professors Eric Bellquist and Jack London, both also of the University of California at Berkeley. Literally scores of other people have been helpful in this project over a period of years, both in Washington and abroad at field posts of the Department of State. He would like particularly to mention my colleagues on the Herter Committee staff and in the Office of Management Planning of the Department of State. Names could be mentioned. almost endlessly, but two stand out above all others: former Deputy Under Secretary of State William J. Crockett and Richard W. Barrett, former Director of the Office of Management Planning. Indispensable to me was the secretarial assistance of Miss Pat Chatelaine, Mrs. Carol Meresman, and Miss Toni Mechan.
