"This sixth edition of To Walk the Earth in Safety summarizes the accomplishments of the interagency U.S. Humanitarian Mine Action Program for fiscal years 2004 and 2005. In a strict sense, it is a combined annual report for two years on what was then and still is the world's largest such program. But it is also a chapter in a real-life story that has a beginning, middle, and, we now know because of more than fifteen years of practical experience, an end." -- Assistant Secretary for Political-Military Affairs John Hillen
