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

ASP AND ACSM ESTABLISH
JOINT EDUCATION PROGRAM
A Joint Education Program was
established by the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Congress</strong>
on Surveying and Mapping
and the <strong>American</strong> Society <strong>of</strong>
Photogrammetry on December 1,
1981. The action, approved by the
Council <strong>of</strong> Mapping, Photogrammetry
and Surveying Societies
(COMPASS), was the first joint
program to be established under
the affiliation approved by the
respective Boards <strong>of</strong> Direction on
September 8, 1981, and will be
headed by Dr. Marshall W. Davies,
Education Director <strong>of</strong> ACSM.
The education committees <strong>of</strong> the
two associations will be reorganized
into one and will jointly address
the education concerns that
affect surveying, cartography,
photogrammetry and remote sensing.
A single education policy for
the affiliated pr<strong>of</strong>essions will be
developed. Future workshops and
seminars will be jointly conducted
and the subject matter will be
more varied. Other features <strong>of</strong> the
joint program call for a joint student
chapter committee, joint student
chapters at the various
schools and universities, and joint
education awards.
The Statement <strong>of</strong> AffiHation
also calls for a joint government
affairs program, which is expected
to be estabhshed shortly, and for
the collocation <strong>of</strong> the respective
headquarters. The two staffs will
be located in the same <strong>of</strong>fices by
early summer, 1982. At their annual
convention in Denver, March
14-20, 1982, the two Boards <strong>of</strong>
Direction will consider a plan now
in preparation for consolidating
ACSM and ASP.
