News, notes, and comments

At the July TAB meeting, a resolution was passed setting up an ad hoc committee to make recommendations to TAB on the form that an entity on Social Implications of Technology should take, and to draft a constitution for it. I was to chair the committee and to appoint one member, the others being F. A. Furfari, Division II Director, Jack Jatlow, Engineering Management Society Representative, and William Underwood, Power Engineering Society Representative. (See the September T&S.)
