Science and Communication

Last October the council of the Federation of American Scientists established a four‐man committee to study the present condition of international scientific communication, with special reference to difficulties encountered by foreign scientists who have applied for U.S. visas for the purpose of attending scientific meetings in this country. The first formal report of the committee was summarized by Victor F. Weisskopf, professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, before a meeting of the Federation in Washington, D.C. on May 1.
