A positive program for world cooperation

The phenomenal progress of the solid-state technologies, which have surfaced as a global resource, achieved in over three decades of pacesetting advancements, reflects the unique spirited creativity of not only engineers and scientists, but the strong alliance of those skilled in management. Today, the sophisticated development excitement continues, with multifaceted chips affording dramatic results. But the complex composition features, with its unlimited application potentials, have spun off a widening range of strategic planning concerns, not only in the expanded need for new procedures in designing and processing, but on the evolving demographic scene. Legislators, legal specialists, international trade authorities, personnel and financial spokesmen, will now be obliged to participate in an even more energetic way in meeting the challenging demands of burgeaning problems ahead to insure progress and stability. A positive program of providing technology on a worldwide basis would, with time, develop new markets and improved international understanding. The role of our industry and the expected participation by the engineering community will be assessed.
