OTC Executive Committee

The Offshore Technology Conference is one of the most comprehensive inter- disciplinary, cooperative undertakings of the engineering and scientific commu- nity. The 12 societies that sponsor OTC have more than 500,000 members worldwide, and include every discipline associated with the exploration and pro- duction of ocean resources and environmental protection.

OTC is governed by an executive committee composed of a representative of each sponsoring society, plus an exhibitor's representative and the executive manager. The OTC program committee is similarly organized, with representa- tives from each of the societies jointly responsible for the solicitation, selection, and scheduling of papers presented during the OTC technical program. Members of the executive committee are:

D.K. Adamson, OTC Executive Manager

R.C. Rieder, Exhibitors' representative, Continental Emsco Co.

D.G. Russell (SPE-AIME), Shell Oil Co.

A.M. Olander (SEG), Exxon Co., U.S.A.

J.A. Rickard (MTS), Exxon Prod. Research Co.

J.R. Jackson Jr. (AAPG), Exxon Co., U.S.A.

C.G. Welling (SME-AIME), Ocean Minerals Co.

W. duB. Thomas (SNAME), J.J. Henry Co., Inc.

J.D. Defilippi (TMS-AIME), U.S. Steel-Research

M.M. Livingston (ASME)

W.B. Katz (AlChE), Illinois Chemical Corp.

W.J. Emrich (ASCE), McClelland Engineers

J.C. Redmond (IEEE), GTE Products Corp. available at all registration areas in each of the three buildings.

Post-Conference Education

Four OTC sponsoring societies will offer continuing education programs on May 7-8. Registra- tion and additional information on all courses may be obtained from the contact person listed for each course. These are:

American Society of Civil En- gineers—courses on "Arctic Off- shore Engineering," and "Off- shore Pile Foundations," to be held at the Shamrock Hilton.

NASA Tours

Tours are scheduled for Tues- day, May 4, and Wednesday,

May 5, to the Lyndon B. Johnson

Space Center, departing from the

Astrohall. Reservations may be made at the NASA tour desk in the International Center in the

Astrohall.

The Lyndon B. Johnson Space

Center is one of the newest and largest research and develop- ment facilities of the National

Aeronautics and Space Adminis- tration. The center, a $202-mil- lion complex, serves as the focal point for the U.S. manned space flight program and houses a fas- cinating dispfay of spacecraft and flight items. Visitors also may see the Mission Simulation and Training Facility and the

Space Shuttle Orbiter Mock-Up and Integration Laboratory.
