[net.general] ATTN: ACM Members, Vote Adele Goldberg for ACM President

chongo@nsc.UUCP (05/10/84)

I strongly recommend Adele Goldberg for ACM president.  Goldberg is the current
ACM secretary and a member of the Council and the Executive committee.  Of all
her contributions to the ACM in the past 15 years, the best was while Goldberg
was Editor-in-Chief of the "Computing Surveys" (79-82).  Adele Goldberg was a
major critic of the attempted NSA "censorship" of various ACM papers.  to quote:

	"As Editor-in-Chief of  COMPUTING SURVEYS for 4 years, it was
	 my responsibility to respond to the NSA request to have ACM
	 editors submit papers in certain areas for parallel government
	 review.  I was outspoken in addressing this breach of the
	 author/editor relationship in the handling of papers for ACM
	 review, and instrumental in establishing the ACM position that
	 protects editors from third-party demands."

Her handling of the problem was both fair and professional.  ACM needs a
president like Adele Goldberg.
