year. I think there is a change of mood mainly because I think the general public influences the profession.

SLATER, I have one sentence or so about the question of timing. We heard a minute ago that there is pressure for some kind of decision or action in the fall. That is all very well and good, provided the decision finds a climate of understanding and acceptance in the country and around the world. But if the wrong decision is made (or what looks like a hurried decision or a decision made by a very small group without proper consideration), I think, given the mood of the country, one might see some very unfortunate consequences. If there were a wellinformed group working in this area, and if there were a genuine debate in the next months, there would be a lot better chance that what decisions were made would be sounder and less divisive within the country as a whole. In other words, just getting decisions qua decisions because of the increasing pressure doesn't strike me, in the last analysis, as the argument which should prevail. Rather, what require attention are the questions that are asked, how well the issues are understood, and how thoughtfully the debate is received. A simple paper and some sort of primer should be prepared with some urgency. This conference certainly has been educational for those of us who aren't experts in this area. I am deeply grateful to Matt and Paul for pulling such a good group together. I think it has been an extraordinarily productive day.
