| The planning and organization of the Second Annual World Bank Conference on Development in Latin America and the Caribbean was a cooperative effort of the World Bank, the University of Los Andes, and the National Planning Department of Colombia. Particular gratitude is due to L. Kamar Arora, conference officer of the World Bank, and to Mario Castillo Hernandez, general secretary of the University of Los Andes, who were responsible for the general coordination of the conference. We also thank Veena Mayami, Angelica Silveiro, and Andrea Guedes of the World Bank, as well as Silena Mndez, Ana Elvira Oeding, and Mara Tascn, staff of the University of Los Andes, and numerous students of the university, whose collaboration was essential for the event. |
| The coordination of the transcription and translation of the papers and panel discussions was under the charge of Clara de Saba, full professor of modern languages of the University of Los Andes, who had the help of an important group of professors and students of the same institution. The manuscript was edited by Diane Stamm. |
| Finally, we want to underscore that the conference could only have taken place with the basic economic support of the following prestigious Colombian institutions: Banco Colombia, Banco de Colombia, Banco Ganadero, El Tiempo, and Portafolio. |
