In order to promote cultural and scientific exchange, the American Geophysical Union has invited a delegation from the Society of Hydraulic Engineers of the People's Republic of China to visit the United States. This team, led by Pao‐Ling Li, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Water Conservancy and Electric Power, will probably visit the U.S. Weather Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, California Institute of Technology, Colorado State University, the University of Iowa, Harvard, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology during May and June 1980.
This tour reciprocates a visit to the People's Republic of China by a team of American engineers and scientists in September and October 1978. Our team was led by J. F. Kennedy, Director of the Institute of Hydraulic Research at the University of Iowa, and included C. L Chiu, Professor of Civil Engineering, University of Pittsburgh; R. Clark, Associate Director of the U.S. Weather Service; J. E. Glover, Chief of the River Division, Waterways Experiment Station, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; A. S. Harrison, Head of the Technical Engineering Branch, Mississippi River Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; D. Louie, Chief Hydraulic Engineer, Harza Engineering Company; N. Matalas, Staff Hydrologist, Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey; C. F. Nordin, Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey; E. L. Pemberton, Head of the Sedimentation Section, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation; A. R. Robinson, Staff Scientist, Science and Education Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture; and myself.
