Summarized is the annual report of the American Institute of Physics for 1973. Publications and programs of the association are summarized and discussed. (RH)

Describes the Congressional Science Fellows program. (SL)

Reports on some recommendations made by a subpanel on High Energy Physics Manpower for the purpose of employing additional physicists through the transfer of some postdoctoral monies to produce long-term positions, and the creation of a five-year national fellowship program. (GA)

The 1971 annual report by the American Institute of Physics (AIP) is highlighted. The report deals with AIP activities during 1971, including changes in publishing methods, new products from the physics-information division, and internal reorganization for better service. (PR)

Describes recommendations developed for the creation of hundreds of jobs for young physicists to maintain a vigorous and internationally competitive research effort in physics through the establishment of either a National Research Scientific Program in Physics or a National Research Faculty Appointments in Physics. (GA)

The function of Congressional Fellows in shaping federal legislation related to science is described. Recent energy legislation efforts are used as examples. (SL)

This Annual Report details the activities of the American Institute of Physics in 1975. The Institute placed major emphasis on the expansion of the institute's public-relations and manpower roles. Developments affecting journals and the activities of the Fiscal Branch and Marketing Division are also discussed. (BT)

Presents the address of George E. Pake, 1977 president of the American Physical Society (APS), upon his retirement from that office. Discussed are APS activities, human rights, and federal funding of research. (SL)

Discusses the role of professional societies in encouraging minority participation in their respective vocations. In particular, the actions of professional organizations of physicists are discussed. (CP)

Presents a preview of the report by the National Academy of Science Physics Survey Committee, which deals principally with the opportunities for physicists during the 1970's. The 14 chapter report, to be available by midsummer of 1972, considers physics in a broad context and perspective both in science and technology and in the whole of the…

Examines the employment problems of Ph.D. physicists in the traditional career areas of higher educatiion, industry, and government. Proposed solutions to the problem include not increasing physics graduate enrollment, annual manpower reports, student awareness of careers in non-traditional fields, and career mobility among older physicists. (GS)

Describes the decline in available physics positions in the academic areas. Indicates that the future need for physicists is unclear and states that the present federal funding patterns are not consistent with good practices of research and development. Summarizes new information in the field of elementary-particle physics. (GS)
