I join with the Chairman in wishing Mr. Alan Murphy well in his new post and thank him for his service to the committee and the subcommittees. We are deeply grateful for the help he has given us, individually and collectively, during our tenure of office. He is moving to an equivalent post in the Journal Office, which is a move sideways and upwards. We hope the upward trajectory of his career continues.
