The International Investment Division's Direct Investment
Abroad Branch, under the direction of Patricia C. Walker,
conducted the survey from which the estimates were derived.
James Y. Shin supervised the editing and the processing of the
reports. Arnold Gilbert designed the computer programs to derive
the estimates for unreported data, to generate the tables, and to
prevent disclosure of company-specific data. Peter T. Bowman
assisted in generating and performing disclosure analysis on the
tables. Mahnaz Fahim-Nader prepared the estimates of the return
on assets for nonfinancial majority-owned foreign affiliates.
