representation from one country and the method of casting votes. Those 
present were requested to consider the problem and be prepared to discuss it 
further at the next business meeting. 
The question, previously discussed at the last Congress as to whether the 
International Society should apply for membership in the International Council 
of Scientific Unions or try to affiliate with some UNESCO organization, was 
raised. The sense of the discussion was unanimously against affiliation with the 
International Council of Scientific Unions unless the International Society of 
Photogrammetry was accepted as an independent union. No objection existed 
to affiliation of other sections of the other unions with photogrammetry but 
photogrammetry was to be entirely independent. Advantage should be taken, 
however, of obtaining an informal opinion from the International Council as 
to the possibility of the acceptance of the International Society of Photogram 
metry as an independent union in order that this opinion could be made 
available to the various member societies prior to making final decision. Presi 
dent Reading was requested to solicit this infromation. 
A letter from Professor Cassinis, a member of the Council, was read. This 
letter indicated that the names of Mr. Santoni and Mr. Nistri had been placed 
in nomination at the last meeting at the Hague as honorary members. Lack of 
time prevented careful consideration of the nomination and it was Professor 
Cassinis’ desire to renew the nomination at the present Congress. Members were 
asked to consider carefully this renewed nomination and any other nominations 
which are appropriate in order that the matter of honorary membership might 
be considered further at the business meeting prior to the last plenary session. 
Attention was directed to the necessity of considering invitations which 
might be received for the next Congress since decision would have to be 
reached at the final plenary session.
