FOREWORD Soon after the establishment of the Law Enforcement Standards Laboratory (LESL) at the National Bureau of Standards, the need arose for a list of law enforcement and criminal justice associations which could serve as sources of information and comment on the law enforcement equipment standards being .' developed for the National Institute of Law Enforcement and CrirrtinalJustice of ,,' the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, U.S. Department of Justice. It was discovered, however, that information on these law enforcement and criminal justice agencies, organizations and research centers was scattered among several sources of varying age and accuracy. Although the collection of these sources into a single reference document was designed primarily .to fulfili an internal require­ ment, it is believed that a unified directory will facilitate communication between these groups. Thanks are due to Jared J. Collard. Assistant for Special Projects, for supervision of the project; Dawn E. Haller for typing hundreds of letters; Pamela J. Christian for preparing the manuscript; and the NBS Office of COl'nputer Assisted Printing for assisting in the publication.
