NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Gov-
erning Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from
the councils of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of En-
gineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The members of the committee responsible
for the report were chosen for their special competences and with regard for ap-
propriate balance.
This report has been reviewed by a group other than the authors according to
procedures approved by a Report Review Committee consisting of members of the
National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the
Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was established by the National Academy of Sci-
ences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the
Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge and of advising the federal govern-
ment. The Council operates in accordance with general policies determined by the
Academy under the authority of its congressional charter of 1863, which establishes
the Academy as a private, nonprofit, self-governing membership corporation. The
Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy
of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in the conduct of their services
to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. It
is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. The Na-
tional Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine were established in
1964 and 1970, respectively, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences.
The symposium on which this volume is based was supported by Grant No. CEE-
8216581 from the Division of Civil and Environmental Engineering, National Sci-
ence Foundation.
