Editorial

To most IEEE members who have identified themselves with a particular area of professional activity by joining one of the Groups of the Institute, the Transactions are probably the most visible bond with their colleagues in the field. In the first year of merged existence, the Com Tech Group has changed its chemistry from a double to a single, potentially stronger, bond. As of January 1, 1965, and after many years of publication, the bi-monthly publication, "Communication and Electronics," has combined with the somewhat younger "Transactions" of the (former) Communication Systems Group and will from now on appear as a quarterly under the name, "Transactions on Communication Technology." The publication and its Editor are committed to a tradition of the highest standards and will continue a policy aimed at reflecting the great contemporary advances in the field of Communication Engineering. To achieve this end, the Group has adopted procedures which give to the various Technical Committees a strong voice in securing and reviewing papers.
