Appreciation for assistance of Russian crystallographers

Dear Professor Duax:

I would like, on behalf of the Russian National Committee of Crystallography and the Institute of Crystallography of the Russian Academy of Sciences, to express our most sincere gratitude to the US National Committee for Crystallography and the American Crystallographic Association for your efforts in assisting Russian crystallographers. We appreciate your understanding of the situation with scientific research in this country and value greatly the active approach you take in this matter. The financial support you granted to the scientists of the Institute of Crystallography was most helpful. Thank you once again for all your efforts.
