Physics Survey Committee

A Physics Survey Committee has been organized within the Division of Physical Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences—National Research Council to study future requirements for the support of physics in relation to national needs and to the rest of science. The Committee will seek to identify the most significant research problems in various subfields of physics, as a basis for estimating levels of support necessary to assure the balanced development of the field as a whole over the next five to ten years.
