In the 22 chapters in this volume, many of the world’s foremost memory scientists report on their cutting-edge research on the nature of human memory, with several chapters reporting new empirical studies that are being published for the first time. All the contributions are inspired by the work of Larry Jacoby on human memory, with his emphasis on episodic memory -- that is, the processes and mechanisms that enable us to remember our own past experiences. In addition, the volume reflects Jacoby's appreciation that memory enters into a wide range of psychological phenomena, including perceiving, attending, and performing. The stellar list of contributors and the breadth of coverage makes this volume essential reading for researchers and graduate students in cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience, as well as being a tribute and celebration of the inspirational, groundbreaking -- and ongoing -- work of Larry Jacoby.

Spence National Defense Authorization Act of 2001 (the Act) required that I, as Comptroller General of the United States, "convene a panel of experts to study the policies and procedures governing the transfer of commercial activities for the Federal Government from Government personnel to a Federal contractor ..." In accordance with the Act, I am pleased to transmit to Congress the report of the Commercial Activities Panel (the Panel) convened to satisfy this statutory requirement. Given the importance of this issue, I elected to chair this Panel and ensured that it was comprised of highly qualified and empowered representatives from the groups specified in the Act and other knowledgeable individuals. A diverse group of high-level members were selected as panelists in order to broaden the scope and enhance the quality of our deliberations, while increasing our chances of success.
