PLENARY SESSION Massachusetts Governor Added As Speaker Continuing a popular MRS tradition, a Plenary Session has been arranged for all symposia participants at the close of the first full day of the Annual Meeting. Immediately following the technical sessions, at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 14, all participants are invited to the Imperial Ballroom of the Boston Park Plaza Hotel to hear the views of three prominent speakers on the topic, "The Role of Government, Industries and Universities in the Support and the Performance of Materials Research." The Chairman of the Plenary Session, Elton Kaufmann of Lawrence Livermore, points out that since
preliminary information about the session was distributed, it has been expanded to accommodate an additional speaker, Michael S. Dukakis, Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He joins two very interesting speakers, George A. Keyworth, Science Adviser to the President of the United States and Director of the Federal Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Donald S. Beilman, President of the Microelectronics Center of North Carolina. "Each of these speakers brings a unique and important perspective to the question under consideration," Elton says, "and the
format of the Plenary Session offers the membership an unequaled opportunity to question them about the role policy should and may play in the advancement of materials research." As Elton suggests, the Plenary Session concludes with a question-andanswer period that, at earlier Annual Meetings, has proved a lively and provocative part of the program. With a topic as fundamental as the one chosen this year, and speakers as authoritative as those selected, this year's Plenary Session promises to be a highlight of the meeting.
