statement in support <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the bill<br />
which he introduced. Additi<strong>on</strong>ally,<br />
Senator Harris<strong>on</strong> H. Schmitt,<br />
[ew Mexico, testified in support<br />
Sf the bill with principal emphasis<br />
<strong>on</strong> the need for more surveys,<br />
more accurate surveys, and more<br />
timely completi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> surveys.<br />
Testifying against the bill were<br />
representatives <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the Bureau <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
Land Management and the Forest<br />
Service. The FS witness referred<br />
to an alternative bill which the Administrati<strong>on</strong><br />
is developing, but he<br />
was unable to say what it was.<br />
Chairman Wallop told him that<br />
they had better "Get their proposal<br />
to the stati<strong>on</strong> if they want<br />
to get <strong>on</strong> the train."<br />
BLM said they have plans for<br />
correcting surveys in problem<br />
areas by 1984 and do not need any<br />
legislati<strong>on</strong>. Many <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> BLM's objecti<strong>on</strong>s<br />
to S. 706 would be overcome<br />
by H.R. 4399 which ACSM was instrumental<br />
in getting introduced.<br />
Senator Wallop said he had problems<br />
with the inherent thrust <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
BLM's testim<strong>on</strong>y, being familiar<br />
with the frustrati<strong>on</strong> the people in<br />
yoming have with BLM's lack<br />
f a timetable.<br />

ASP AND ACSM ESTABLISH<br />
JOINT EDUCATION PROGRAM<br />
A Joint Educati<strong>on</strong> Program was<br />
established by the <str<strong>on</strong>g>American</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>gress</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
<strong>on</strong> <strong>Surveying</strong> and Mapping<br />
and the <str<strong>on</strong>g>American</str<strong>on</strong>g> Society <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
Photogrammetry <strong>on</strong> December 1,<br />
1981. The acti<strong>on</strong>, approved by the<br />
Council <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Mapping, Photogrammetry<br />
and <strong>Surveying</strong> Societies<br />
(COMPASS), was the first joint<br />
program to be established under<br />
the affiliati<strong>on</strong> approved by the<br />
respective Boards <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Directi<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong><br />
September 8, 1981, and will be<br />
headed by Dr. Marshall W. Davies,<br />
Educati<strong>on</strong> Director <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> ACSM.<br />
The educati<strong>on</strong> committees <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the<br />
two associati<strong>on</strong>s will be reorganized<br />
into <strong>on</strong>e and will jointly address<br />
the educati<strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>cerns that<br />
affect surveying, cartography,<br />
photogrammetry and remote sensing.<br />
A single educati<strong>on</strong> policy for<br />
the affiliated pr<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>essi<strong>on</strong>s will be<br />
developed. Future workshops and<br />
seminars will be jointly c<strong>on</strong>ducted<br />
and the subject matter will be<br />
more varied. Other features <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the<br />
joint program call for a joint student<br />
chapter committee, joint student<br />
chapters at the various<br />
schools and universities, and joint<br />
educati<strong>on</strong> awards.<br />
The Statement <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> AffiHati<strong>on</strong><br />
also calls for a joint government<br />
affairs program, which is expected<br />
to be estabhshed shortly, and for<br />
the collocati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the respective<br />
headquarters. The two staffs will<br />
be located in the same <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fices by<br />
early summer, 1982. At their annual<br />
c<strong>on</strong>venti<strong>on</strong> in Denver, March<br />
14-20, 1982, the two Boards <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
Directi<strong>on</strong> will c<strong>on</strong>sider a plan now<br />
in preparati<strong>on</strong> for c<strong>on</strong>solidating<br />
