Taylor as its president, and chemist R.D. Gillard as its vice-president, at the annual meeting of March 7,1981. In his inaugural speech professor Taylor said that he was linked to Hungary and her recent history through an old, deep friendship, which had been reinforced in recent years by family ties, as his wife is historian Eva Haraszti. His friendship with Mihály Károlyi left also lasting impressions on him. (News from Hungary, 1981/1) □ Andor C. Klay informed us of his recent research and writing. Having recently retired from the diplomatic service, he has been working on studies pertaining to U.S.-Hungarian relations. “Document: Budapest-Washington, 1956” is one of the papers he prepared by using documents just released to researchers at the National Archives. A study on the same subject is about to be published in Hungarian on the pages of Űj Látóhatár (Munich) under the title “Kerekasztalkonferencia New Yorkban: A forradalom mögött [Roundtable conference in New York: Behind the revolution]. Klay also lectured on Bartók. His lecture at the American U., Washington, D.C. 20016, “Bartók, the Unknown” is available on magnetic tape and may be borrowed from the university with the permission of the author, whose address is 3402 Garfield Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20007. □ PROGRESS REPORT ON ACL5-HAS COOPERATION As reported on p. 1, no. 23/24, and p. 13, no. 27/28 of HSN programs of cooperation in various social sciences are progressing. While theoretical and methodological aspects of joint projects are being hammered out successfully, funding for travel is becoming extremely scarce. The group on social psychology had its second planning conference at the U. of Oregon in February 1981. The conference took place at the university’s Decision Research offices, where the participants developed a joint proposal for further cooperation in which the emphasis would be on the understanding the world of perceived (environmental) risks especially in a cross-cultural comparison. An extended discussion took place on an initial series of experimental pre-tests. The Hungarian group participated in an international conference on “New Directions in Decision Making” held at the U. of Oregon in March, 1981. This meeting, attended by some 80 scholars, afforded the Hungarian group an opportunity to meet many of the world’s most eminent researchers of the field.
