VlSITIKrO- SPEAKERS DR. JAMES A. PHILLIPS received his B.S. in mathematics and physics at Carleton College, Minnesota, his M.S. a n d Ph.D. in physics at the University of Illinois. In 1944-45 ha was Technical Supervisor with Tennessee Eastman Company on the Manhattan Project, working with the Calutron separating U" from uranium. Since 1949 he has been at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, as Group Leader in the Physics Division since 1955. Dr. Phillips served as a U. S. representative to the Second International Conference on Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy in 1958. LEONARD J . KOCH is Deputy Director of the Reactor Engineering Division, Argonne National Laboratory. Ho holds a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Illinois Institute of Technology. Mr. Koch was Associate Project Engineer for development, design, and initial operation of the EBR-I and was present when the world's first production of electricity from atomic energy was generated by that plant in 1951. Following the EBR-I assignment, he served as Project Coordinator for the Experimental Breeder Reactor I I development program and was appointed Project Manager for EBR-I I in 1956, a position which he still holds. M r . Koch was a contributor to the 1955 and 1958 Geneva Conferences on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy. DR. ROBERT W . PIDD, formerly professor of physics at the University of Michigan, is project manager of the direct conversion program at General Dynamics Corporation 1 ! Gen* oral Atomic Division in San Diego, California. Dr. Pldd graduated from the University of Michigan In 1943, received his master's degree in physics there in 1944, and his doc torate there in 1947. At Michigan he directed the final construction of the University's 100 MEV synchrotron a n d made early measurements of the size of the atomic nucleus by electron scattering.
