Abstract

In 1961 during the state visit by President Mohammad Ayub Khan to the United States, the two Presidents discussed the problem of watcrlogging and salinity and its implications for economic development in Pakistan. As a result of this meeting, a Panel of U.S. experts was assembled to study the problem. This Panel was composed of specialists in agriculture, hydrology, engIneering and social sciences; its chairman was Dr. Roger Revelle, Sci~ce Adviser to the United States Secretary of the Interior. The Panel's Reportl was submitted to the President of Pakistan in September 1962, with the comment that it should be considered as being still in preliminary draft form and subject to continui'ng revisions as comments from other experts in the field are received
