This edition supersedes Portugal: A Country
Study
published in 1976. The authors wish to acknowledge their
use of
portions of that edition in the preparation of the current
book.
Various members of the staff of the Federal Research
Division
of the Library of Congress assisted in the preparation of
the
book. Sandra W. Meditz made helpful suggestions during her
review
of all parts of the book. Timothy L. Merrill assisted in
the
preparation of some of the maps, checked the content of
all the
maps, and reviewed the sections on geography and
telecommunications. Thanks also go to David P. Cabitto,
who
provided graphics support; Wayne Horn, who designed the
cover and
chapter art; Marilyn L. Majeska, who managed editing and
production and edited portions of the manuscript; Andrea
T.
Merrill, who provided invaluable assistance with regard to
tables
and figures; and Barbara Edgerton, Alberta Jones King, and

The authors also are grateful to individuals in various
United States government agencies who gave their time and
special
knowledge to provide information and perspective. These
individuals include Ralph K. Benesch, who oversees the
Country
Studies-Area/Handbook Program for the Department of the
Army; and
Scott B. MacDonald of the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency, who offered advice in the preparation of
sections of
the manuscript. In addition, the authors wish to thank
various
members of the staff of the Embassy of the Republic of
Portugal
in Washington for their assistance.

and charts; Mimi Cantwell, who edited the chapters;
Beverly
