CHRONICLE
OF
THE
INSTITUTE
HAS,
its
Sections
and
Members
1961
Round
Table
(Lisbon,
11-16
September)
As
part
of
the
three-year
programme
adopted
in
1959
by
the
Council
of
Admin-
istration,
the
Institute
held
its
Round
Table
at
Lisbon,
at
the
invitation
of
the
Portuguese
Government.
The
Round
Table
was
intend-
ed
to
clarify
the
preparatory
work
for
the
XIIth
International
Congress
of
Administra-
tive
Sciences
which
will
be
organized
at
Vienna
from
16
to
20
July
1962.
The
conference
was
attended
by
150
participants
representing
46
countries
and
5
international
organizations.
Three
Working
Groups
simultaneously
examined
the
three
principal
subjects
on
the
Agenda.
Their
task
consisted
in
comparing
the
basic ideas
elicited
from
the
first
replies
received
to
the
questionnaires
prepared
in
1960
at
the
San
Remo
Colloquium
(cf.
« Review n,
No. 3/1960,
pages
330-346).
The
detailed
results
of
the
discussions,
whose
purpose
was
to
enable
the
National
Rappor-
teurs
as
well
as
the
General
Rapporteurs
to
test
and
co-ordinate
the
plans
of
their
re-
ports,
are
outlined
further
on.
The
last
stage
of
the
preparatory
work
for
the
1962
Congress
will
be
as
follows :
(a)
Before
1
March
1962,
the
National
Rap-
porteurs
will
send
the
Institute
two
copies,
in
English
or
in
French,
either
of
their
final
replies
to
the
three
questionnaires,
or
of
the
additional
information
which
the
Lisbon
dis-
cussions
showed
to
be
desirable
and,
in
some
cases,
necessary;
(b)
The
General
Rapporteurs
are
already
drafting
their
reports,
in
which
they
will
possibly
incorporate
the
information
men-
tioned
above
as
and
when
it
is
received.
The
general
reports
will
be
sent
to
IIAS
in
good
time
for
translation,
printing
and
circulation
in
English
or
in
French
to
all
Congress
par-
ticipants.
The
Institute
hopes
that
all
National
Rap-
porteurs
will
do
their
best
to
simplify
its
work
by
making
the
necessary
alterations
as
soon
as
possible
and
sending
in
the
further
information
required
without
delay.
*
The
restricted
nature
of
the
Round
Table
is
clearly
demonstrated
by
the
fact
that
only
the
members
of
the
Council
of
Administration
and
of
the
Standing
Committees
of
the
In-
stitute,
together
with
the
General
Rap,por-
teurs
and
National
Rapporteurs
for
each
subject
studied
had
been
invited
on
that
occasion.
However,
in
addition
to
the
pro-
gramme
originally
arranged,
Special
Meet-
ings
were
organized
for
representatives
of
national
schools
and
institutes
of
public
administration.
The
Meetings
were
the
re-
sult
of
new
action
taken
by
the
IIAS
as
part
of
the
research
it
has
been
conducting
for
many
years
into
the
problems
of
administra-
tive
science
teaching.
In
view
of
their
suc-
cess
IIAS
has
decided
to
hold
similar
meet-
ings
regularly
as
part
of
its
normal
inter-
national
work.
A
very
full
account
of
the
Meetings
is
given
further
on,
especially
for
principals
of
national schools
and
institutes
of
public
administration
who
were
unable,
owing
to
the
short
notice,
to
accept
the
Institute’s
invitation
to
participate.

Before
dealing
with
the
Round
Table
discussions
and
with
the
meetings
held
in
connection
with
them
by
the
governing
bo-
dies
of
IIAS,
tribute
should
be
paid
to
the
Portuguese
Government
which
was,
in
every
way,
a
perfect,
generous
and
considerate
host.
Besides,
Portugal
is
one
of
the
oldest
Member
States
of
the
Institute,
as
was
re-
called
in
the
welcoming
speech
made
at
the
opening
meeting
by
Professor
Marcelo
Cae-
tano,
former
Minister,
Rector
of
the
Univer-
sity
of
Lisbon
and
Chairman
of
the
Por-
tuguese
National
Section
of
IIAS,
which
has
existed
for
nearly
forty
years.
The
local
Organizing
Committee
was
under
the
chairmanship
of
Professor
Caetano,
and
Messrs.
Antonio
Pedrosa
Pires
de
Lima,
Aureliano
Felismino
and
Edgard
Santos
Mattos
had
devoted
all
their
energies
to
making
the
participants’
stay
in
Lisbon
as
pleasant
as
possible,
and
enabling
them
to
work
with
the
greatest
efficiency.
The
meetings
were
held
in
the
Tivoli
Hotel,
