Summary: This book was published by the U.S. Information Agency for readers in foreign countries. In accordance with a 1972 amendment to the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948, U.S. public diplomacy products were not allowed to be available in the U.S. After USIA was folded into the State Department in 1999, the restriction continued for publications issued by its Bureau of International Information Programs (IIP). The restriction ended in 2013. The imprints for USIA publications were "United States Information Service," "International Communication Agency" (1978-1982), or "Embassy of the United States of America." The volumes were usually printed at one of the USIA regional printing plants in Vienna, Mexico City, or Manila and shipped to U.S. diplomatic posts for distribution. Subsequent print runs and minor updates of standard volumes were usually printed with the same cover design as the original edition, but revised editions usually had new cover designs. The English texts were often translated into other languages. To date an individual copy, look for the number at the bottom of the last page inside the back cover. The first two digits represent the year the volume was printed.
