the preparation of the current book. The editors also wish to
thank various members of the staff of the Embassy of the Republic
of Korea in Washington for their assistance.
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. Robert L. Worden also reviewed parts of
the book and made numerous suggestions and points of
clarification. Timothy L. Merrill assisted in the preparation of
some of the maps, checked the content of all of the maps, and
reviewed the sections on geography and telecommunications. Thanks
also go to David P. Cabitto, who designed the cover and chapter
art and provided graphics support; 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

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.
