摘要:
One‐and‐a‐half years after the Persian Gulf War reminded Americans of their dependence on foreign oil, Congress and President Bush approved a broad‐ranging energy bill (HR776) to reduce that dependence. The bill, passed by Congress on October 8, was signed into law on October 24.Incorporating provisions under the jurisdiction of many congressional committees, the energy bill faced a long and contentious battle to win approval.

摘要:
On October 24, the first laser beam fired at LAGEOS‐II, a satellite covered with 426 mirror‐like prism reflectors, was received at Orroral Station, Australia. Six days later, 103 passes had been received at fifteen stations around the world. The $4‐million Italian‐built satellite consists of an aluminum sphere, a brass core, and the outer reflectors and has no moving parts. It was launched October 22 aboard Space Shuttle Columbia. Thirty countries are tracking LAGEOS‐II from sixty‐five sites worldwide. NASA has ten fixed ground stations and the National Satellite Laser Ranging Committee coordinates thirty‐five ground station laser facilities around the world for tracking LAGEOS‐II and its sister, LAGEOS‐I, as well as several satellites launched b

The old order changeth and Bruce Marsh is hibernating in the forests of Maine, where his fellow loggers wish him well on a much‐deserved sabbatical. VGP members have cause to be very grateful for his presidency, in which he inaugurated the Presidents' Breakfasts for the exchange of information among the sections at each of our annual meetings, served heroically on editorial search and audit committees, and ran our section with the kind of loose informality and penetrating insight that it deserve
