Readers of these Washington Reports may have noticed that for the past several months we have been discussing agencies and activities which are somewhat interrelated and which are concerned in one way or another with the international aspects of science. This grouping has been deliberate with the series to date: The Fulbright Program (April), Science in the State Department (May), and the National Science Foundation (June). It is continued with the present paper which has to do with the Division of International Relations of the National Research Council (NRC).
