Reports annually to Secretary of Commerce on NBS activities. Dates indicate expiration of appointment. Dr. E. R. Piore, Vice President, Research & Engineering, International Business Machines Corporation (1967), Chairman Dr. Frederick Seitz, President, National Academy of Sciences (1966) Professor Charles H. Townes, Provost, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1965) Dr. Elmer W. Engstrom, President, Radio Corporation of America (1968) Dr. Paul C. Cross, President, Mellon Institute (1969) TECHNICAL ADVISORY PANELS During the past year a number of changes were made in the Bureau's program in order to obtain increased advisory input from the Nation's scientific and technical community. A new agreement was reached with the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council whereby the functions of the former NBS Advisory Committee on Calibration and Measurement Services and the Advisory Committee on Textile and Apparel Research were included in its continuing evaluation and review of technical programs of NBS. The NBS Weights and Measures Advisory Committee was replaced by a Committee on Liaison with the National Government under the National Conference on Weights and Measures. The Advisory Committee on Engineering and Related Standards was discontinued because its functions were essentially duplicated by normal working contacts between NBS and the organizations represented on the Committee. Twenty NAS-NRC advisory panels and committees were constituted during 1965. Of these, all panels except those for the Analytical Chemistry, Metallurgy, and Cryogenics Divisions met at least once, and the Advisory Committee on Textile and Apparel Research met on five occasions. Comments and recommendations from the panels have been very helpful to NBS officials in formulating and adjusting the Bureau's technical program. The composition and operation of the advisory groups are still in the process of modification to adapt to the reorganization of the NBS into Institutes. Institute for Basic Standards Dr. R. D.
