In late 1969, the National Academy of Sciences created a committee, chaired by D. Allan Bromley of Yale University, to survey the state of physics. In due course, Bromley organized a set of panels, dividing physics into such recognizable areas as nuclear physics, elementary particles, condensed matter and the like. The first part of the report of this committee has now appeared, and more will follow.
