Report of the Association's Advisor on Sociology and Public Affairs.

Acting on the belief that the various agencies of the federal government in the U.S. have occasional need for American Sociological Association's advice on matters of programs and personnel, the article author has, during the year, made eight trips to Washington D.C. He has advised and conferred with such agencies as the U.S. National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Defense, the Civil Service Commission, the Department of State, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Commerce, the Office of Education.
