4. REPORTS OF DIVISION PRESIDENTS (WRITTEN)
The President thanked the Division Presidents for their detailed
and comprehensive reports. Prof. Gilbert distributed an extended
version of the report of Division IV. Prof. Jortner pointed out
that in future meetings of the Bureau it would be useful to review
different scientific, industrial and mission oriented fields
relevant to the activities of the Divisions and Standing Committees.
Prof. Lorimer noted that in the report of Division I there was
a comment that a scientist from Bulgaria was unable to participate
because Bulgaria was not a member of the Union. It was noted
that the new category of Provisional Member had been authorized
by the Council at Geneva to allow participation in such cases
upon request of the Division. It was felt that greater publicity
should be given to this new category of membership.
The President briefly described three interdivisional activities
that were initiated in the past year.
- Biomolecular Chemistry - coordinated by the President of
Division III
- Materials - coordinated by the Presidents of Divisions II
and IV
- Environmental - coordinated by the President of Division
VI.
The Bureau approved the continuation of these activities.
The Bureau accepted the reports of the Division Presidents as
presented.
