3 sub-files

The Committee was established in 1966 under the chairmanship of the Society's Foreign Secretary and SZ was a founder member, serving until 1968. The Committee superseded a large existing committee with the same title, the purpose of which had been to deal with the affairs of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) and which was henceforth to be called the British National Committee for ICSU. The new International Relations Committee was to deal with general policy in international relations, co-ordinating the work of the British National Committee for ICSU, and the Society's committees on Foreign Exchanges, Overseas Visiting Professorships, Royal Society Leverhulme Scholarships, Developing Countries, Pacific Science, UNESCO, and the Naples Zoological Station.
