Language
The language of the Symposium will be English and no arrangement is being
made for interpretation.
Program
In preparing the program, world wide representation in the fields of wheat
research was emphasized. Some 30 persons representing approximately 15
different countries are being invited to participate in the program. All
persons who find it possible to attend the Symposium will be welcome to
take part in discussions following the presentation of formal papers.
Arrangements are being made to record all discussion so that the proceedings
will be complete. A brief summary of the tentative program is outlined

Financial Assistance
Local organizations are being canvassed for financial support to make
the Symposium possible. It is expected that minimal financial assistance
can be given to those invited participants who are unable to obtain funds
from any other source.
General
When the program has been finalized it is our plan to send it to all wheat
workers who's names we have on our mailing list. As the present time this
list si made up of some 500 names. No doubt there will be omissions and
changes that we are not aware of and for this reason we would solicit
your co-operation in sending either lists from various countries or individual
names so that we will be sure to get as wide a circulation as possible.
