58 HISTORY OF THE COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 



During the early sixties, several personnel changes occurred in the 

 panel's permanent roster. Dr. Sverre Petterssen resigned in 1963, and 

 Dr. Harrison S. Brown of the California Institute of Technology and 

 Dr. Walter J. Hesse of Ling-Temco-Vought Corp. were added, bringing 

 the total membership to 15- Dr. Clay P. Bedford of the Kaiser Aero- 

 space and Electronics Corp. was appointed in 1966. In 1967, Dr. 

 Clarence P. Oliver resigned and was replaced by Dr. Athelstan Spilhaus, 

 president of the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, Pa. 



By 1968, it was felt that some new blood should be infused into 

 the panel. It was concluded that perhaps some of the charter members 

 of the panel, although ideally oriented toward the needs and challenges 

 of the early sixties, did not in some instances perform as effectively in 

 the disciplines and areas most needed by the committee in the seventies. 

 It was also felt that there was some repetition in the views advanced 

 by some panelists. Chairman Miller, supported by Representative 

 Daddano, became convinced that the panel process would be enriched 

 by the rotation of some of its members. As a result, the full membership 

 of the permanent panel by 1972 included the following: 



Dr. Ivan L. Bennett, Jr. — medicine — New York University. 



Dr. Harrison S. Brown — geochemistry — California Institute of Technology. 



Dr. A. Hunter Dupree — history — Brown University. 



Dr. David M. Gates — ecology— University of Michigan. 



Mr. Martin Goland — applied mechanics — Southwest Research Institute. 



Dr. Walter J. Hesse — aircraft and missile systems — LTV Aerospace Corp. 



Dr. Herbert E. Longenecker — biochemistry — Tulane University. 



Dr. Thomas F. Malone — meteorology — University of Connecticut. 



Dr. Roger Porter — microbiology — University of Iowa. 



Dr. William F. Pounds — management — Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 



Dr. Roger Revelle — geophysics — Harvard University. 



Dr. Athelstan Spilhaus — oceanography — Woodrow Wilson International Center for 



Scholars. 

 Dr. H. Guyford Stever — aerospace engineering — Carnegie-Mellon University. 

 Dr. James A. Van Allen — physics — University of Iowa. 



Dr. Fred L. Whipple — astronomy — Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. 

 Dr. John T. Wilson — psychology — University of Chicago. 



The panel members and guest panelists were reimbursed for their 

 transportation and subsistence expenses, plus a consultant fee of $50 

 per day for the period of the panel meetings. 



Months of advance planning preceded the meetings of the panel. 

 In addition, the activities of the committee on the subject matter of 

 the panel never ended with the rap of the gavel which marked the 

 formal termination of the sessions. For example, following the 1969 

 panel meeting on "-Government, Science and International Policy,'' the 

 committee undertook follow-on studies on U.S. policy regarding scien- 

 tific relationships with other countries. Panelists Harrison S. Brown
