Kennedy), 1 September 1995 to 31 March 1999; additional research support for supplementary focus group and oral history interviews, and for translation of materials from these related projects was provided by a contract from the National Council for Soviet and East European Research (NCSEER), Contract No. 812-11 (Project Director: Michael D.
