Some years ago this 21 -frame French proposal was received in the U.S. via correspondence, and circulated here for comment over a period of months, with unanimous agreement that it would be impractical for the U.S. to change. A half-hour's direct conversation with the French, English and German delegates brought out the fact noted above, that the U.S. has been using this proposal all along — only the standard itself needs to be changed to bring everything into agreement!
The opportunity of serving as the chairman of this first meeting of ISO/ TC36, although approached with some uncertainty, is looked back on with deep appreciation. This was a most heartening experience, and all who contributed to these meetings have the right to feel that the work of TC36 has now been given a most effective start. When men of good purpose sit down together and talk things over, much can be accomplished, as witness the following report by Henry Kogel. We are proud and happy to have played a part.
