A series of centers designed to assist foreign scientific visitors in establishing contacts in this country with people in their fields and, in general, in making their stay here as effective as possible has been proposed by the Office of International Relations of the National Academy of Sciences‐National Research Council. Under study for the past year by the Cooperative Research Foundation (CORE), the program was to be activated August 31, 1953 with the opening of the first regional center at the Morrison Planetarium, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. Other such centers will be located in similar areas of concentrated scientific endeavor, and are to act as coordinating agencies for international scientific activities in their vicinities.
