Geological Survey Participation in the United States Technical Assistance Program, 1940-67 For more than two decades the u.s. Geological Survey has assisted the developing nations in a wide range of investigations, including mineral-resource appraisal, geologic and related studies, establish ment of geologic and hydrologic agencies, and training of earth scientists. This bibliography lists publications resulting from the scientific, technical, and administrative work Of the u.s. Geological Survey and counterpart agencies in 51 foreign countries during the period 1940 - 67. This revision, by Nancy B. Tabacchi, is an enlargement of the bibliography by Heath (u.s. Geo]. Survey Bull. 1193 pub. In 1965) which covered the period 1940 - 65. The published material listed here reflects three phases of the Survey's investigations, which have been undertaken at the request of the host governments and sponsored by the u.s. Agency for International Development, the United Nations, and other international agencies: (1) from 1940 to 1947, at the request of host governments, cooperative investigations of critical or strategic mineral deposits were undertaken in response to the war effort and postwar requirements; (2) from 1947 to 1952, the shortage of well-trained earth scientists and the need to stimulate industrial growth in developing countries resulted in a wide variety of coopera tive project studies; and (3) from 1952 to 1967, as trained earth scientists became available in developing countries, emphasis shifted to systematic, countrywide programs intended to assess national water and mineral resources, and at the same time provide field training for scientific and administrative staffs in newly developed government agencies concerned with use of mineral resources.
