    <Paragraph position="0"> We wish to acknowledge the contributions of many individuals without whom we would not have results to discuss here. First, there are the individual system developers listed by sites in Figure 1; second, there is the Program Committee, which was responsible for the general framework of the conference and many of the detailed decisions about evaluation. Next, the government attendees at MUC-3 provided insight into possible requirements and applications of such systems; their enthusiasm was contagious and made us feel that years of research in natural language processing was ready to bear fruit. And finally, we wish to acknowledge the key people responsible for making the conference happen: Beth Sundheim of NRaD, who, as organizer of all of the Message Understanding Conferences, has made a major contribution to the state of evaluation for natural language systems; and Charles Wayne and Thomas Crystal of the Advanced Research Projects Agency/Software and Intelligent Systems Technology Office, whose financial and moral support for MUC-3 and MUC-4 were invaluable.</Paragraph>
