| mention the case of Commission IV, supported 
by France for the period 1972—1976. The French 
Society as a few other national societies 
managed so far to fulfill all its obligations in 
the matter. Organizing a Symposium in 1974 in 
Paris, publishing the proceedings of this Sym- 
posium, asking neither registration fee nor charge 
for the Symposium Acts, and editing the invited 
papers to the Helsinki Congress in the official 
language chosen by the author represented a 
total expense of 128000 French francs, that is to 
say 65600 Swiss francs: 10000 francs having 
been granted by the French Ministry of Foreign 
Affairs, 5000 francs having been paid by the 
exhibitors, 30000 francs coming from the ad- 
vertisers (the cost of advertisements for an ordi- 
nary year should be taken off), 34500 francs al- 
lotted by I.G.N. (plus the staff expenses), 48500 
francs, that is to say 25000 Swiss francs, were 
supported by the French Society for Photogram- 
metry. 
It is sure that distributing Working Groups to a 
larger number of countries would increase the 
interest in photogrammetry in these countries, 
impose them a reasonable charge, decrease, 
the charge of the Member Body chairing the Com- 
mission and, gathering a larger number of ex- 
perts to work for the Commission, make more 
effective the action of I.S.P. 
Everyone responsible within the l.S.P. should 
strive to develop that action. | do not think it 
necessary to set up a new Working Group to 
promote it: the new Council should be able to 
give a few guiding rules by itself. 
Let me add that increasing the number of Work- 
ing Groups should make easier the joint work of 
classical photogrammetrists and experts in re- 
mote sensing, as well as the practical interpen- 
etration of the areas of interest common to I.S.P. 
and its sister organizations such as F.I.G., I.C.A. or 
I.A.G. 
| intend to clarify certain points, namely con- 
cerning the Working Groups, as the General 
Assembly will go on electing Member Bodies to 
take Technical Commissions in charge. 
Item 9.(14) Election of Member Societies re- 
sponsible for Technical Commissions

Commission VI Poland 24

The Secretary General observed that, in cases 
where there had been a close tie between ap- 
plicants, the losing country should be invited to 
cooperate with the host country by offering it a 
Working Group of the Commission concerned. 
Item 10. (20) Election of President and other 
members of Financial Commission 
Council had agreed that the Financial Commis- 
sion would consist of Professor van der Weele as 
President and Messrs. Huber and Rogers as Mem- 
bers. The General Assembly approved this ar- 
rangement. 
Item 11. Fourth General Assembly 
To complete the Agenda, the General Assembly 
decided to meet a fourth time, on Friday, July 
23, 1976, at 10.45 in Lecture Hall A of the Hel- 
sinki University of Technology. 
The President adjourned the meeting.
