Research and National Purpose 



Scientist's Office — helped with the numerous housekeeping 

 chores whose effective performance made of those plans a 

 memorable reality. 



The weather was radiant, the house full, and the occasion 

 festive. We deeply appreciate the many of you who came in 

 person or were present by message to show your continuing 

 respect for the past and your confidence in the future of the 

 Office of Naval Research.
