ACKNOWLEDGMENTS-The 1965 and 1964 Annual Surveys of Manufactures were conducted under the direction of Owen C. Gretton, Chief, and Milton Eisen, Assistant Chief, of the Industry Division. As is the case in such matters, the results of this survey are the product of many individuals, both in the program division and in the operation divisions-the Systems Division and Processing Division.

Within the Industry Division, the management of the Annual Survey of Manufactures was the responsibility of Elmer S. Biles, Assistant Chief for Program Implementation, assisted by Robert E. Crowther and Helmuth R. Wiemann. Edward A. Robinson, Assistant Chief for Economic Research, had overall responsibility for developing concepts and planning the content of the survey. Louis J. Owen, Assistant Chief for Production and Process, Statistics, coordinated the review of the product class shipments data and, assisted by Kenneth R. Brimmer, developed the statistics on consumption of fuels and electric energy. The aspects of sample design, estimation techniques, and variance formulas were carried out by Donald F. Clark and Carl J. Bostrom under the supervision of Jack L. Ogus, Assistant Chief for Research and Methodology. Willis K. Jordan, Staff Adviser to the Division Chief, also made significant contributions to the Survey.

The review and analysis of the data from an industry standpoint was carried out in nine commodity sections under the technical guidance of the following sector heads: Robert J. Nealon, Foods, Textiles, and Apparel; Cyril M. Wildes, Chemicals and Wood Products; and Paul F. Berard, Metals and Metal Products. The chiefs of these industry sections are Charles H. W.
