Abstract
The adversarial relationship between the United States and the USSR since World War II has led to careful control by the two governments of interactions between American and Soviet scientists. This control has affected all aspects of cooperation, from the initial negotiations of scientific exchange agreements to governmental debriefings of scientists after visits abroad.

We are handicapped by [foreign] policies based on old myths rather than current realities.
