nouncements to these meetings will be sent to the membership. Chang anticipates the meetings to provide valuable insight into materials research. "As you know," he said, "the Japanese are extremely busy working on the high Tc oxide materials as are the people in the United States. I expect to see some important technological breakthrough from them in this area. The other important piece of information I learned from my colleagues in Japan was that a new research consortium is being formed between industry and the Japanese government in the area of advanced materials processing and machining."
MRS Council Discusses Progress, Plans for 1987 at Spring Meeting

Treasurer Sue Kelso reported that MRS finished 1986 slightly above budget. The Designated Fund authorized by Council at its December 1986 meeting for long-term purposes has been established.

Since the 1986 Boston meeting, three full-time employees have joined the staff at MRS headquarters to provide support for the MRS BULLETIN, data processing, and member services. Approximately 1,000 ft2 of badly needed space has been added to headquarters as well. These additions, coupled with considerable progress in implementing the new computer system and in updating accounting items, have dramatically increased the capacity of the headquarters staff to handle Society operations. Over 25 books are scheduled for publication by MRS in 1987 according to Gail Oare, Director of Publications. MRS publishes proceedings of MRS symposia as well as proceedings of other conferences deemed of high interest to MRS members. A catalog listing MRS publications is scheduled for release in September. As MRS members have undoubtedly noticed, the MRS BULLETIN has grown dramatically and with greatly increased technical content. Council authorized the BULLETIN to become a monthly publication in 1988. Twelve issues will provide more up-to-date information on topics of interest to MRS members. The Subcommittee on Program Development presented Council
