Wilson Committee

The creation of a linker market was formally recommended by the Committee to Review the Functioning of Financial Institutions (1977-1980) —known as the Wilson Committee, after its Chairman Sir Harold Wilson. However, Mark Deacon s and Andrew Derry s excellent book Inflation-Indexed Securities cites a recommendation by Keynes to issue linkers as early as 1924. There was a domestic precursor for the market, inasmuch as the UK government s National Savings department had been issuing inflation-linked savings certificates for retail investors since 1975.

In January 1911, Wiley sent Hesse s manuscript on to Secretary Wilson with a recommendation that it be published. It appeared the following year as Bureau of Chemistry Bulletin //147, "Coal Tar Colors Used in Food Products." Hesse s report remained the standard work on the subject for many years it was heavily cited by a British Parliamentary committee as late as 1954 (70).

I wish to thank the Army Research Office (Durham), the National Institutes of Health, the Selenium-Tellurium Development Committee, and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research for financial assistance in carrying out some of the work described here. I am also grateful for fruitful criticisms supplied by Professors L. J. Schaad, L. C. Hall, K. K. Innes, B. J. Wilson, and T. W. Martin. 

Acknowledgements This work was supported by the Australian Research Grants Committee. We acknowledge the excellent technical assistance of Gregory Checkley and Geoffrey Wilson. Much of this work has come from studies made in close collaboration with Professor T. C. Laurent and his colleagues at Uppsala University, Sweden. Unfortunately, due to heavy University commitments, he was unable to contribute as co-author to this paper. 

I thank Wilson Orr and Curt White for the opportunity to participate in the Symposium and Heinz Damberger for supporting my effort. This work benefited from many suggestions and detailed comments by Curt White. Constructive reviews were provided by Rich Cahill, Heinz Damberger, Joyce Frost, Wilson Orr, Curt White, and three anonymous reviewers. This work has been supported in part by the Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resources through its Coal Development Board and Center for Research on Sulfur in Coal, and the CRSC Coal Industry Committee.

He was elected to the National Academy of Public Administration in 1985, and he was a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Smithsonian Institution, and a research fellow at the Wissenschaftszentrum (Sciences Center) Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Social Research, Cologne. He has been a member of the Board on Radioactive Waste Management and panels of the Committee on Human Factors and the Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences. He served on the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board, Department of Energy, and chaired its Task Eorce on Radioactive Waste Management, examining questions of institutional trustworthiness. He was a member of the National Research Council s panel on Human Eactors in Air Traffic Control Automation and the Technical Review Committee for the Nuclear Materials Technology Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory. 

The ramifications of the atomic bomb project reached such proportions that in August 1943 it was decided to establish a Combined Policy Committee, composed at the outset of Secretary of War Stimson, Dr. Bush, Dr. Conant for the United States, Field Marshall Sir John Dill and Colonel J.J. Llewellin, for the United Kingdom and Mr. C.D. Howe for Canada. Col. Llewellin was later replaced by Sir Ronald I. Campbell who in turn was succeeded by the Earl of Halifax the late Field Marshal Dill was succeeded by Field Marshal Sir Henry Maitland Wilson. The United States members have had as their scientific adviser. Dr. Richard C. Tolman the British, Sir James Chadwick and the Canadian, Dean C.J. Mackenzie.

Diisopentyl thiotartronate is anticipated to undergo simultaneous metabolism of sulfur and oxygenated functional groups (Gachon etal., 1988 Karim et al., 1988 Feng Solsten, 1991 Wilson et al., 1991 Black et al., 1993). Sulfoxide formation is usually the predominant metabolic detoxication pathway. Piperitone (No. 435) was evaluated by the Committee in 1998. It was concluded that piperitone was not a safety concern at current levels of intake.
