Military Operations Research Society (MORS) Oral History Project Interview of Mr. Arthur Stein and Dr. Annette Stein

摘要

The Preface, below, was written in 1997 when the intent was to publish the then seven histories developed under the Army Oral History Project. Subsequently, a decision was made to delay publication. By the time I retired from the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of the Army (Operations Research), ODUSA (OR), I found that Walt Hollis, FS,had originally commissioned Dr. Wilbur Payne, a well-known and highly regarded Army operations analyst, on Wilbur's retirement from his last Army position as Director, TRADOC Operations Research Activity (TORA). Unbeknown to any of us in the ODUSA (OR), Wilbur had completed two interviews before passing away in 1990. The subjects were Dr. Hugh Cole and Floyd Hill.
