to serve as co-chairmen. The committee's membership was broadly reflective of the diverse disciplines that use such major facilities, such as synchrotron radiation and neutron facilities, and includes the following: Richard B. Bernstein, University of California, Los Angeles Robert J. Birgeneau, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Jerome B. Cohen, Northwestern University Mildred S. Dresselhaus, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Harry G. Drickamer, University of Illinois Peter Eisenberger, Exxon Research and Engineering Company Donald Engelman, Yale University Walter Kohn, Institute of Theoretical Physics, Santa Barbara David W. Lynch, Iowa State University and Ames Laboratory Albert Narath, AT&T Bell Laboratories William D. Nix, Stanford University Edward Rubenstein, Stanford University Medical Center John J. Rish, National Bureau of Standards Albert I. Schindler, Naval Research Laboratory Arthur Sleight, E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, Inc. William P. Slichter, AT&T Bell Laboratories Joseph V. Smith, University of Chicago Richard Stein, University of Massachusetts H. Guyford Stever, Universities Research Association John M. White, University of Texas, Austin Top Priority: Synchrotron Facility "The committee's report, entitled Major Facilities for Materials Research and Related Disciplines, was transmitted to Keyworth's office this summer. The report presents priorities both for new facilities and for new capabilities at existing facilities. The top priority assigned for a new facility was a 6 GeV synchrotron radiation facility. The top priority for new capabilities at an

The National Science Foundation is conducting an evaluation of the impact of the Foundation's funding support on recent advances in the fundamental engineering sciences. One of the disciplines in the engineering sciences being evaluated is "materials science engineering," and the NSF has asked the Materials Research Society to aid in this part of the evaluation. F.W. Young of Oak Ridge National Laboratories is managing this task for the Society. The MRS is asked to identify topical areas within materials science engineering that have advanced substantially over the past twenty years, and for each topical area the seminal papers that led this
advancement. The National Science Foundation can then identify the funding source for the work described in these papers and complete the evaluation. Some thirty distinguished materials scientists, distributed over the broad field of materials science have been asked to participate in this task. The continuing need for evaluation of the effectiveness of the mechanisms for support of scientific research in the United States is apparent. It is important that the Materials Research Society assume its proper position in this process by providing timely, well-reasoned information and advice on matters pertaining to materials science.
