Abstract :
Your editor has invited me, as your chairman, to offer a few words of wisdom to accompany this issue of the TRANSACTIONS. I accepted the invitation with tongue in cheek because I had no thoughts as to where the words of wisdom would originate. I have two choices: to start talking, or to take the Fifth Amendment on the grounds that whatever I say will certainly be held against me. Anyone who has been engaged in radio interference work over a number of years has learned not to be concerned about getting himself committed — he is always doing that — so the alternative is to start talking. Perhaps the logical thing is to do just that and let the Editor worry.
