The only point that we are still worrying about is the Archives. Our 
Secretary-General, Mr. Massie, will explain and you will realize that we still 
expect problems and expense, but we cannot yet determine just what that 
expense will be. But I hope we will still be in the black, if it is just zero. 
I would like to mention dues briefly. There were a number of the member 
societies who agreed that because of the difficulties of exchange of currency, 
they would devote a part of their dues to the publishing of their reports for 
this Congress. I would appreciate if those societies would forward some infor 
mation in that respect to me because I hope and I would certainly be delighted 
to pass on to my successor a report showing no societies in arrears in dues to 
the International Society. 
I will pass information regarding new members on to my successor. 
President Reading requested Mr. Massie, Secretary-General, to say a few 
words regarding his duties. 
Mr. Massie: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: 
Our Treasurer, Mr. Cude, has mentioned the difficulties we expect with 
the Archives and stated that I would explain these to you. If I were to tell you 
in detail of the problems and difficulties expected, we could start another 
meeting as long as the one now drawing to a close. 
It was indicated in the beginning of the meeting that help from the Com 
mission Chairmen and Secretaries would be required to secure proceedings of 
each Commission. I would like to renew that request for help. 
An endeavor has been made to obtain copies of papers as they have been 
presented here. Although time has not permitted a thorough check, I can indi 
cate that we are missing some very important papers. A listing of available 
papers will be sent to each Commission and a request made not only for copies 
of missing papers, but the material connected with discussions which have 
taken place during the Commission meetings. 
These individuals are urged to send these reports as promptly as possible, 
and I sincerely hope that all of them will be received before the new year. It is 
only in this way that we will be able to publish the Archives and make them 
available in time to be current interest. 
President Reading requested Mr. Smart, Program Director, to say a few 
words regarding the organization of the Congress and his Committee. 
Mr. Smart: Fellow Delegates, Mr. President, and Friends: 
I did not prepare a speech for this time, but I did want to appear here for 
a few moments and speak on the behalf of the Committee or Staff that has 
been working with me for the past three years, for the past ten days and are 
still working. 
It was my hope that that Committee could be here this afternoon and it 
would be my pleasure to introduce each one of them individually. However, 
work is still going on; preparations are still being made for our meeting at 
Bolling Field and for the activities which will take place in this room tonight. 
It was impossible to gather that group here at this time. So I would like 
at this time to speak for and thank the 91 members of the organization staff 
that you have come in contact with during the past ten days. I personally am 
very, very happy to state that we believe that we have met practically every 
emergency, and we hope that this is so. These people have contributed their
