The choice of contents and the accuracy of translation from the original documents are the responsibility of the editors.

We thank Central Office staff members who provided information on their respective areas. Special appreciation is expressed to John Millsaps, Director of Communications and Marketing, Office of Media and Publications, who designed the cover art and arranged for printing and publication, and Sue Sloop, who designed the maps.
