The National Science Foundation Ad‐Hoc Advisory Panel for Large Radio‐Astronomy Facilities, headed by Robert H. Dicke, has decried the lack of US radio‐astronomy construction. The panel, originally convened in August 1967 (PHYSICS TODAY, September 1967, page 71), met again to review its original recommendations. In a recently issued report the panel points out that none of the suggestions made two years ago has yet been implemented. The US, it says, has stood still while Germany, India, the Netherlands and the UK have begun construction on large radio telescopes, several of which will soon be in operation.
