RESOLUTION

The 19th Meeting of the Permanent International Altaistic Conference having concluded its deliberations in Hanasaari near Helsinki gratefully acknowledges the hospitality, efficiency and general cordiality of all those who have cooperated to make the occasion scientifically productive and socially delightful.
Whereas the Finnish Ministry of Education has given its generous support to the meeting, and Chief of Section Numminen has particularly exerted himself on its behalf;
Whereas the Scandinavian Institute for Asian Studies in Copenhagen has provided additional financial support particularly for the preparation and printing of the Proceedings;
Whereas Indiana University has once again provided the gold medal of the Indiana University Prize for Altaic Studies awarded by the Meeting;
Be it resolved that the sincere gratitude of the PIAC for such help received be expressed and recorded.
Moreover the PIAC expresses its appreciation of the careful planning and efficient work of the local Organizers, and, more particularly of its President, Professor Aulis J. Joki. Without his energy, foresight and hard work the Meeting would have never taken place and would have never been as well run as it was.
Heartfelt thanks are due also to hls collaborators, Professor Penttl Aalto, Dr. Ymär Daher, Mr. Harry Halen, Mr. Okan Daher, Mr. Juha Janhunen, Mr. Sangmoo Kho, Mr. Aatos Salo and the charm­ing, competent and ever-helpful ladies working in the Office of the Meeting.
Finally, special thanks are due also to Dr. and Mrs. Ymär Daher and to their charming family for the extraordinary reception given in their home where, in a Chekovian decor set against the clear lake lit by the nordic night, the humming of the mosquitoes was drowned by the Uralic and Altaic songs freely flowing from the lips of the participants, and their stings forgotten in the generous torrent of Finno-Tatar hospitality.
