Such committees, which can be set up in the advanced countries through or in cooperation with appropriate scientific organizations or societies, would try to secure suit- able grants from Government and other sources. In developing countries where scientific research has already started, the counterpart committees of scientists would also be set up, pre- ferably, at a non-governmental level and with a majority of members from universities and non-governmental scientific mstitutions. All arrangements would be made with the con- currence of the government of the less advanced country con- cerned, but decisions relating to gifts for scientific work must be made by direct consultations between the scientific com- mittees themselves.
