The National Research Council has announced the formation of a new Committee on Infrared Absorption Spectra which is intended to take over the work of the Punch Card Committee of the Symposium on Molecular Structure and Spectroscopy of Ohio State University. The latter committee has been actively keeping track of papers on spectroscopic subjects in, the published literature. The new committee is under the chairmanship of Wallace R. Brode, associate director of the National Bureau of Standards. Other members are E. Carroll Creitz, National Bureau of Standards, secretary; R. Robert Brattain, Shell Development Company; Bryce L. Crawford, University of Minnesota; Robert R. Hampton, U.S. Rubber Company; Lester E. Kuentzel, Wyandotte Chemicals Corporation; and James D. Stroupe, Rohm and Haas Company. Arrangements have been made for the committee to work in close collaboration with the National Bureau of Standards. Attempts are being made to solicit a rotating fund for use in reproducing infrared spectral and bibliography cards.
