The 1st Annual William T. Pecora Memorial Symposiumscheduled for Sioux Falls, South Dakota, October28-31, 1975, will foster the exchange of multi-disciplinary scientific and management findingsresulting from the use of remotely sensed data.

The four-day symposium will address itself to new andrevolutionary discoveries which assist the earthscientist in meeting the world's obligation to producethe minerals, fiber and food essential for the securityand continuing progress of our people. Remote sensingexperts from the United States, Canada, Mexico andSouth America will present more than 30 technicalpapers covering the resu Its of two years of LANDSAT(formerly ERTS-Earth Resources Technology Satellite)productivity. Additionally, the symposium will featurespecialized tours of the EROS (Earth ResourcesObservation Systems) Data Center geared to theinterest of each attendee.

The schedule shown below is just a sampling of thefour-day program. Additional technical papers andspecial event speakers will be announced later.

The American Mining Congress is a trade associationfounded in 1897. Its membership is composed of(1) U.S. companies that produce most of the nation'smetals, coal and industrial and agricultural minerals;(2) more than 240 companies that manufacture miningand mineral processing machinery equipment andsupplies, and (3) engineering and contractingcompanies and financial institutions that serve themining industry.

Luncheon, Thursday, October 30Speaker: To be announced

Reception and Banquet, Thursday, October 30Speaker and program to be announced

It is self-evident that minerals required by industry andagriculture can be extracted from the earth only at thoseplaces where they exist, and only in an economic andgovernmental-policy climate compatibie with the risksinherent in mining.

The development of adequate domestic reserves of allmineral resources is of the greatest national importance.The American Mining Congress contributes to theattainment of this national goal - and to theachievement of national environmental goals - byaiding in the development of improved equipment andprocesses that will increase the efficient production ofmineral resources and enhance the health, safety andwelfare of the mining industry's employees and theeconomic well being and security of our nation.
