on a world-wide basis approximately U.S. § 9 milion is 
spent per year for photogrammetric research and develop- 
ment /R E D/, or something in the order of 1.2 % of the 
world’s total annual expenditures for photogrammetric work 
/approximately U.S. § 700 milion for 1975/. This percenta- 
ge is not very much different from the average percentage 
of the GNP /Gross National Product/ for the world's entire 
RED expenditures. It would be doubtlessly of considerable 
value to analyze whether the present photogrammetrio R E D 
efforts are adequate or not. Because of insufficient availa- 
ble information at this time this item is not pursued fur- 
ther, in this paper; it is rather suggested that the study 
of the entire complexe of photogrammetrio R E D be made a 
priority subject for future activity of W.G. VI-1. 
4. Conelusions and Recommendations 
An analysis of the world's present status of photo- 
grammetry education and researoh reveals that considerable 
progress has been made up to now considering the faot that
