Berkner, first chair of CHAPTER 4 the Board, on June 26, 1958: CHAPTER 5 APPENDIX A.1 APPENDIX A.2 We have talked of the main task of the Board in three parts -- the immediate program, the long-range program, and the international aspects of both. In all three we shall look to the Board to be the focus of the APPENDIX A.3 interests and responsibilities of the Academy-Research Council in space science; to establish necessary relationships with civilian science and with governmental science activities, particularly the proposed new space agency, the National Science Foundation, and the Advanced Research Projects Agency; to represent the Academy-Research Council complex in our international relations in this field on behalf of American science and scientists; to seek ways to stimulate needed research; to promote necessary coordination of scientific effort; and to provide such advice and recommendations to appropriate individuals and agencies with regard to space science as may in the Board's judgment be desirable.
