Dejos-USA 8-27-79 FOREWORD AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This Operational Guide is one of a series developed by the National Center on White-Collar Crime as part of the Center's program of support services to agencies engaged in the prevention, detection, investigation, and prosecution of white-collar crime and related abuses. These Operational Guides are intended for use in actual law enforcement operations, as well as training, on the theory that the best training materials are those which most respond to the dayto-day needs of users who regularly practice their skills. This series evolved parallel with, and as a part of the Center's preparation of a curriculum for training in the field of white-collar crime enforcement. Special mention should be made of the support and encouragement of James O. Golden, Director of the Criminal Conspiracies Division of the Office of Criminal Justice Programs, Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, and of Mr. Jay Marshall who is our L.E.A.A. Project Monitor. Last, we gratefully acknowledge the invaluable support of members of the Battelle Law and Justice Study Center staff, and particularly that of Cheryl Osborn who typed our manuscripts, kept our files, and did all those things without which this series could not have been created.
