The UNIVAC System has been an over-all company project and hundreds of people have participated. It is, therefore, difficult to acknowledge the contributions of individuals. However, special mention must be made of the contributions of Mr. H. Lukoff, Mr. E. I. Blumenthal, Mr. L. D. Wilson, and Mr. J. D. Chapline, Jr. To the Census Bureau a great debt of gratitude is owed for their continuous support of the project.
