bers are chosen on the basis of their special knowledge and 

 include a cross section of academic and field expertise related 

 to antarctic investigations. Formal appointment to the Com- 

 mittee is by the Secretary of the Interior. 



The members in mid- 1 989 were Alison Wilson (chair; National 

 Archives), Peter F. Bermel (Geological Survey), Guy G. Guth- 

 ridge (National Science Foundation), and Geza T. Thuronyi 

 (Library of Congress). Mark P. Rockmore, Defense Mapping 

 Agency, Hydrographic/Topographic Center, is secretary of the 

 committee and has responsibility for antarctic names research 

 and data base maintenance within DMA. Richard R. Randall, 

 executive secretary of the Board, participates in affairs of the 

 Committee and reports on its work at quarterly board meetings. 

 Former members and agency representatives often attend meet- 

 ings to provide continuity and to deal with current topics. Fred 

 G. Alberts, who was secretary of the Advisory Committee on 

 Antarctic Names from 1949 to 1980 with concurrent respon- 

 sibility for carrying out antarctic names research, attends reg- 

 ularly and provides valuable perspective and advice.
