tion and conducting studies and applied research where and when needed. Linkages and Networking The range component of the SR-CRSP was awarded a linkage grant of $15,000 to complete the research highlighted above and to provide bridging support for the Moroccan collaborating team as it seeks to secure alternative financial resources to sustain its range research program. Other Contributions In April, 1990, the Fourth International Rangelands Congress will be held in Montpelier, France. Our SR-CRSP range research collaborators in Morocco have been involved in the preparations for this major international meeting. In particular, the Moroccan Co-PI, Dr. Hamid Narjisse, is in charge of organizing an eight-day post-Congress tour of Morocco, April 27 to May 5. The Groupe d'Etude et de Recherche sur le Pastoralisme (GERP) at IAV continues to function as an integral part of the Institute, directing the pastoralism curriculum and student research projects dealing with rangeland and livestock. GERP is governed by a council consisting of three representatives from each of three departments at IAV, the departments of Plant Ecology, Animal Production, and Human Sciences. The College of Natural Resources at Utah State University has decided to expand and strengthen its collaborative relationship with IAV, Rabat. The basis of the agreement is an understanding that USU and IAV are sister institutions that come together as equals to pursue mutual objectives in training, research, and resource development. The evolution of IAV to its present standing and reputation as a tertiary agricultural institution owes much to the USAID-funded, twenty-year Minnesota training project. But it has been projects like the SR-CRSP which have enabled a truly collaborative working relationship to emerge between IAV and American universities, 114 To borrow a phrase from Jim Lowenthal, ADO/Rabat, we can now move into "second generation" development, which is less a case of development in the traditional sense but rather a program of collaboration for the benefit not only of Morocco and the United States but also of the Francophone Africa region as a whole. To pursue these objectives, a high-level mission from Utah State University composed of the University President, Vice-President for Research, Vice-President for Extension, Provost, directors of international programs, and the deans and department heads in the College of Natural Resources, visited IAV in March, 1991.

In Preparation The 1989-90 year was a light one in terms of publications appearing in press. However, a number of publications arising from SR-CRSP research are currently in the preparation or planning stages. Titles identified include: Utilization by sheep and goats of Stipa tenacissimaplant communities in Morocco. Nitrogen and energy supplementation of Timahdit sheep grazing Stipa tenacissimavegetation. Effect of site and defoliation intensity on silica and wax concentration in Stipatenacissima.
