and the Annex to the report by Prof. Schiffman (Appendix 7). Prof. Donald introduced the report and explained that the Australian National Society believed that they had overall responsibility for the CSIRO operation, rather than the ISSMFE, and that sińce they had equal links with the ISRM and the IAEG they had invited the two bodies to sponsor the Institute also. Prof. Viggiani, Dr.Moh and Prof. Togrol, members of the Sub-Committee all stated that there had been a minimum of communication between the committee and its chairman and that the report was that of the latter only. Prof. Habib, on behalf of ISRM, pointed out that the decision madę by the ISSMFE was of extreme importance to the other two International Societies and he hoped that we would make our position very elear. It was agreed without dissent that the present Sub-Committee should be laid down and that a new one should be set up under the chairmanship of someone who was neither Australian nor from the USA to report on the whole matter to the next meeting of the Executive Committee.

Committee on Sampling
35. The President reminded the meeting that the ISSMFE Sub-Committee on Sampling had been laid down at the Istanbul meeting and the Secretary General spoke about the relationship between the International Group on Soil Sampling (IGOSS) and the former Sub-Committee.
He expressed the view that IGOSS had been responsible to the Sub-Committee and that sińce the one had been laid down then the other had ceased to have any responsibility to the ISSMFE. He hoped that if the next President decided to set up a new Sub-Committee on sampling that the IGOSS organisation would cease to operate sińce it would be undesirable to have two

II est d'avis que 1’IGOSS śtait responsable envers le sous-comitś et que, celui-ci ayant śtś dissout, il n'a plus de responsabilitś envers 1'ISSMFE. II espśre que si le nouveau Prśsident dścide de crśer un nouveau Sous-Comitś sur 1'śchantillonnage, 1'organisation de 1*IGOSS cessera, car il serait indesirable d'avoir deux comitśs internationaux travaillant dans le mśme domaine.
