![’ Srcrion 4. Foreign RESEARCH AND TECHNICAL PROGRAMS Drviston, ARS The Foreign Research and Technical Programs Division of the Agri- cultural Research Service coordinates the exchange of technical and professional knowledge between veterinary research and regulatory divisions in the U.S. Department of Agriculture and government veterinarians of friendly foreign nations. Federal vetermarians con- ducted unofficial international exchanges of research and disease con- trol information for many years. This international cooperation was expanded following World War II when the United States officially inaugurated technical veterinary assistance for foreign countries under point 4 and subsequent aid programs. ? Developing individualized training for foreign veterinarians is a responsibility of the Foreign Research and Technical Programs Division. In 1955, the program provided training in the United States for 16 foreign government veterinarians from countries in Latin America, Europe, the Near East, Africa, south Asia, and the Far East. From 1956 through 1959, 98 foreign veterinarians came to the United States for training or formal study (table 10). The FRTP Division arranged veterinary programs in schools of veterin- ary medicine, departments of veterinary science at land-grant colleges and universities, State veterinary diagnostic laboratories, and Federal agencies. | f TABLE 10.—Foreign veterinarians in U.S. training programs arranged by Foreign Research and Technical Programs Division, Agricultural Research Service, 1956 to 1959, by countries Country 1956 | 1957 | 1958 | 1959 * Country 1956 | 1957°| 1958 | 1959 IBolivigh 4S 2E ek bee Pee Pee Dies ERE Jordan 2.51029.

International cooperation also benefits the United States. Along with newly acquired methods and techniques, the foreign veter- inarians take home a better understanding of the United States and its people. Contacts are established for future exchange of technical information. 3 During their training in the United States, these foreign veterinari- ans may make scientific discoveries or develop techniques that con- tribute toward the general welfare, For example, a Spanish Govern-](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b32177458_0210.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
