EEs and public needs: A recommendation

A year in the making, this report has just been released by a special IEEE ad hoc committee. The committee was charged in late 1970 with finding out what the IEEE was already doing in applying technology to social problems, determining what new efforts would be desirable, and how all of the individual and group efforts could best be coordinated. Chief among the suggestions of the committee is the development of procedures by which IEEE interest can be expressed and its support offered to governments and other appropriate organizations.
