that Prof. Ward and his wife had been asked to join the Bureau
for dinner at its next meeting in Cobham, UK. He then asked

2. MINUTES
OF 126TH MEETING OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
2.1 AMENDMENTS AND APPROVAL
Dr. Becker noted that the minutes had been approved by correspondence.
No amendments were proposed.
2.2 MATTERS ARISING FROM MINUTES (NOT COVERED BY ITEMS ON AGENDA)
There were no matters arising.
3. ACTION ITEMS FROM BUREAU MEETINGS
Dr. Jost was asked to provide a separate list of completed and
in progress items as of this meeting to the Bureau for its next
meeting. There was a brief discussion of Item 5 regarding the
presentation of scientific talks by the Division Presidents
at Bureau meetings. It was concluded that the concept in Item
6, a strategic review of the activities of Divisions and Operational
Standing Committees was more appropriate. After some discussion
it was agreed that rather than asking Division Presidents to
present a scientific review of work in their Divisions the suggestion
from the last Division Presidents meeting should be adopted.
This proposed that the Division Presidents and Standing Committee
Chairmen should present a strategic review of their Division's
plans. Two Division Presidents and the Chairman of CHEMRAWN
will be asked to make such a presentation at the next Bureau
meeting. The presentations should have a twenty-minute time
limit.
