President Nixons trip to China is only one of the many examples of growing American contact with this part of the world. I am particularly proud that one of the finest East Asian libraries in the country is located in the State of California. The East Asiatic Library of the University of California at Berkeley is wellknown for its excellent collection. As of July 1972. the librarys collection had grown to 340.000 books. including 150.000 in Japanese alone. By serving students. teachers. diplomats. corporations. and Government agencies. the East Asiatic Library contributes to the growth of knowledge and understanding between our country and the countries of East Asia. Mr. President. I ask unanimous consent that a brief r6sum6 of the history and holdings of the East Asiatic Library at Berkeley. prepared under the direction of the librarian. Mr. Raymond Tang. be printed in the RECORD.
