    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In the preparation of this handbook, the War Manpower Com- mission is deeply indebted to other agencies and organizations interested in the problems of the physically and the mentally handicapped. The extensive work of the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation in the Federal Security Agency has helpfully made available much technical information on the nature of handicaps and the relation of workmen’s compensation to em- ployment of the physically handicapped. It has also helped define the responsibility of the Employment Service. Great ap- preciation is extended to the United States Public Health Service for its advice and comment. Full use has been made of the experience of Employment Services in States where a well-defined program for service to the handicapped has been in operation. Information and training manuals and aids developed in New York, California, Connecti- cut, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and the District of Columbia were particularly helpful, as were transcripts of medical lectures given by doctors in New York to interviewers working with the hand1- capped. Special appreciation is due to personnel in these serv- ices for their interest and valuable cooperation in the prepara- tion of this handbook. For the preparation of the revision, field staff were called to headquarters to present ideas acquired from use of the technique in the local United States Employment Service offices.
