Abstract :
Anyone who thinks about it must conclude that unless we were drastically to limit our goals, we will always be faced with many problems. Even though we make up only a small part of IRE, we nevertheless include members of so many diverse skills and intereats that to serve all appears formidable indeed. Some may feel it impossible to do so, others that it is not worthwhile. PGAP´s chartered purpose does not permit it to take any such narrow view. Nor, (so far as we how) would any part of its membership want it to do so. This Newsletter is inaugurated with the hope that it will assist in defining and solving the problems. Its purpose will be to tell what PGAP and its members are doing and thinking. Everyone is urged to contribute relevant material. Suggestions, complaints, observations, and, in particular, expressions of what you as a member would like from PGAP will all be of value and needless to say, more than welcome.
