- Abstract
Quote, pdf page 8:
"This annual report differs from its predecessors. Far more than in previous years it is aimed primarily at accounting to Parliament for the conduct of the Organization's affairs during the past year. It no longer contains illustrated articles on the research work of the Organization, but concentrates instead on matters of legislation, policy, organization and the allocation of resources. The Organization's new research Institutes will in future produce their own annual reports in which it will be possible to present research results more comprehensively than previously. These changes signify the response of the Organization to the Act of 1978, which amended the Science and Industry Research Act 1949; to the Government's decisions following the 1976/77 Independent Inquiry; and to comments by the Senate Standing Committee on Science and the Environment relating to annual reports.The amending Act came into force on 14 December 1978 and began a new era for CSIRO. It marked the beginning of a series of changes in the structure and operating procedures of the Organization."
