Now that the Physics Survey Committee has completed its monumental study of physics in the United States (see PHYSICS TODAY, April, page 23), the federal government intends to use the report in evaluating physics support in the various agencies. To this end, the Office of Science and Technology has requested that an interagency committee be formed to study the Pake report and help propose government‐wide policy and planning in support of university physics research. The chairman of this committee is Wayne R. Gruner, head of the physics section at the National Science Foundation.
