The article informs about the grant of $23,800 given by the U.S. National Science Foundation to the journal "Computing Reviews." It mentions that the grant is sanctioned with the purpose of expanding the activities of "Computing Reviews" for the fiscal year 1965-1966. It is informed that the grant, for many coming years, will offer a more solid ground to the journal after adjustments were made to the proposal made by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The grant is supposed to prevent "Computing Reviews" from converting to a monthly issue from its January/February 1966 issue.
