NAS expands international programs in Europe and Asia

Iron and bamboo curtains to the contrary, the National Academy of Sciences is penetrating deep into the scientific hinterlands of eastern Europe and Asia. NAS has just entered into a program with Yugoslavia of exchange visits by scientists and is actively pursuing similar contacts with Poland, Rumania, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. At the same time the academy is expanding its programs with the USSR and the developing countries and exploring possible scientific contact with Red China and Indonesia. The academy's international activities are conducted through its Office of the Foreign Secretary, whose director and executive secretary are Harrison Brown and W. Murray Todd, respectively.
