From the standpoint of constructive criticism many individual subjects

38were brought up leading to the final conclusions that the procedures as
implemented during this Conference seem to be satisfactory.
The limitation to 12 pages per written paper proved to be satisfactory. The
availability of all papers in preprint form was appreciated. It was not desirable tosend such preprints to the participants’ home addressses in order to give theauthors an opportunity to present the latest data on their subjects.
The availability of these publications at the Conference contributed to abetter background information and discussion.
Having accepted such a large number of papers made it possible for many
younger authors to take part in such an international conference and be exposedto this atmosphere. It thereby strengthened the profession and its future
activities nationally and internationally.

6. Exhibition Arrangements
It was unanimously agreed that the technical exhibition has been the greatest
and best organized in the history of nondestructive testing. The reports frommany exhibitors reaching this Committee through Mr. Bates and other Delegatesfurthermore indicated that this enterprise was also worthwhile from the businesspoint of view.
7. Activities between Conferences
It was especially mentioned by Dr. Konkoly that a more intense disseminationof information dealing with national and special International meetings between
international conferences by made known. He suggested that the National
Delegates be informed directly on suchforthcoming events.
Dr. Mullins suggested that such information should also be made available tothe U.S. Delegate in order to use it in “Internationally Speaking” of Materials
Evaluation. Dr. Tenney agreed to continue this phase of his activities.
Dr. Mullins asked that special thanks should be transmitted to all the workers
who helped make this a successful conference.
