Operators of increasing dimensions contribute to logarithmically enhanced terms, which are suppressed by corresponding powers of $1-x$. For the longitudinal structure function in moment $(N)$ space all the logarithmic contributions of order $\ln^k N/N$ are shown to be resummable in terms of the anomalous dimension of the leading operator in the expansion.Talk presented at DPF99, UCLA, 7 pages, 3 figuresHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyA non-local OPE for hard QCD processes near the elastic limittext
