Normally an acknowledgment appears as an addendum to a paper, obscured by all the facts, figures, theory, and philosophy that comes before. In this case, however, I feel that the acknowledgments tell the story of the project, which was one of international cooperation, in such a succinct way that it has become an abstract in itself and should therefore appear at the head of this article. The author's position in DVDP, as U. S. Science Coordinator, was primarily as a focal point to receive and distribute communications on all facets of the project to the international science community and to individuals directly linked to the project. After the initial planning and development of the project into a 3-phase operation responsibilities were distributed to the various groups listed below : Coordination T. NAGATA -Director, National Institute of Polar Research, Japan T. TORII -Executive Secretary, Japan Polar Research Association R. THOMSON -Superintendent, Antarctic Division, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Zealand D. KEAR -Assistant Director General, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Zealand M. TURNER -Program Director, Division of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation, United States L. McGINNIS -Professor, Northern Illinois University Advisory Group E. S. BARGHOORN -Harvard University P. J. BARRETT -Victoria University C. R. BENTLEY -University of Wisconsin R. F. BLACK -University of Connecticut P. E. DAMON -University of Arizona S. S. GOLDICH -Northern Illinois University H. KURASAWA -Geological Survey, Japan M. MURAYAMA -National Institute of Polar Research, Japan N. NAKAI -Nagoya University R. F. ROY -Purdue University S. B. TREVES University of Nebraska P. N. WEBB -Northern Illinois University H. E. WRIGHT, Jr. -University of Minnesota Y. YOSHIDA -National Institute of Polar Research, Japan Environmental Monitoring B. C. PARKER -Virginia Polytechnic Institute K. CARTWRIGHT -Illinois State Geological Survey M. G. MUDREY, Jr. -Northern Illinois University Logistics Planning, General Management, Operations, Bulletin Editing L. D. McGINNIS -Northern Illinois University M. G. MUDREY, Jr. -Northern Illinois University Drill Superintendents J. HOFFMAN -Geophysics Division, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research L. OLIVER -Geophysics Division, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research Core Curation D. CASSIDY -Florida State University The above responsibilities existed primarily as we saw them in the United States. Credit for the idea and initiation of the project ultimately rests with Phil SMITH of the National Science Foundation. In New Zealand R. B. THOMSON was instrumental from the beginning in planning and project design, both in the field and in New Zealand Government affairs. His efforts led to the formulation of the New Zealand drill team which was the key to project success. In Japan, T. NAGATA assembled federal support behind DVDP and opened up a long-term and continued collaboration with the U. S. and New Zealand by support of the laboratory facilities at McMurdo. In the Japan science community and as one of the first proposers of drilling in the dry valleys, T. TORII gave stimulus to the entire DVDP community of scientists. The U. S. Navy support facility at McMurdo must be commended for their role in giving us the mobility to move the rig into the valleys and for the innumerable back-up support at all project levels.
