. Isabella L. Karle is a research physicist with the Depart-
ment of the Navy responsible for initiating and executing
new research into the basic structure of matter. Employed
at the Laboratory for Structure of Matter, Naval Research
I ahoratory, in Washington, D.C., she is engaged in deter-
mining the atomic and molecular arrangements in complex
materials, particularly those of biological importance. Dr.
Karle's entire Government career, which began in 1946,
has been with the Naval Research Laboratory.
Marjorie Rhodes Townsend is an electronics engineer
and is the only woman to manage a United States satellite
program. Employed at the Goddard Space Flight Center,
National. Aeronautics and Space Administration, since
1959. she is the project manager of the Small Astronomy
Satellite program. This project involved the first U.S. Satel-
lite to br launched by a foreign country (Italy), the first
~arhiting X-ray satellite, and the first such satellite to be
devoted exclusively to the study of X-rays in galactic
mod inter7alactic space. It has provided the first complete
picture of the sky in X-rays resulting in a major advance
in astronomy.

? Janet Hart (Mrs. Harry Sylvester) is Assistant Director,
Division of Supervision and Regulation, Board of Gover-
nors of the Federal Reserve System. A recognized expert
in securities credit regulation, a complex and difficult area
of regulatory law, Miss Hart is the Board's principal spe-
cialist in the securities credit field. She advises the Board
on the formulation of policy, on proposed legislation, and in
drafting and implementing regulations.
"My daughter tells me that nowadays, women are rethinking
their self-images and coming-to see themselves as people,
each of whom is conditioned by her own individuality and
not by the expectations socl ty has traditionally imposed
upon her sex. Whether she decides to stay home and take
care of the house, or to go out and practice a profession,
she will do it because she hathe inner emotional security
to do what she wants to do. If-she must work, she will not
feel guilty if she fails to conform to a pattern in which
women are expected to be homemakers first of all."
? Marguerite S. Chang is a research chemist and inventor
whose work has significantly advanced the state-of-the-art
of propellant chemistry and technology. Her present re-
search in the Naval Ordnance Systems Command, Depart-
ment of the Navy, is concerned with developing new missile
and rocket propellants, improving propellants in efficiency
of operation and personnel safety, and in achieving better
quality control in the manufacture of propellants. She
presently has eight inventions being processed for patent
applications.
"... In 1949, when the Communists took over Mainland
China, my husband and I lost all financial support and we
were faced with the choice of remaining here in difficult
straitened circumstances or returning to China. Our deci-
sion to remain in the United States was instantaneous. I
had learned to accept and enjoy all of my new responsi-
bilities. We have never regretted our decision. . . . Tonight,
I am on top of the world. I feel much gratitude for the
opportunities I have enjoyed here in this country. I only
hope that my work will continue to be a credit to the
United States-and to all peoples everywhere."
? Bernice Lotwin Bernstein is an attorney and executive
who administers the widespread operations of the Depart-
ment of Health, Education and Welfare for New York, New
Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, an area with a
population of about 30 million. As Director of HEW's
Region II, she has achieved a high degree of coordination
and cooperation among Federal and local governments and
voluntary agencies concerned with the complex problems of
health, education, and welfare. She has been Director of
Region II since 1966 and presently is the only woman
regional director in HEW.
"I suggest that in part, we are being honored tonight because
we have cherished the opportunities that Federal service
has provided, opportunities for achievement and fulfillment,
opportunities to serve all the people of these United States,
opportunities to work with and be stimulated by many out-
standingly able and rare quality people who are striving to
improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our Federal
Government's Administration. The very diversity of each
of our roles in the Federal service illustrates the magnitude
of the opportunities that are open to us."
? Marilyn E. Jacox is a research chemist at the National
Bureau of Standards, Department of Commerce, and an
internationally recognized researcher in intramolecular
phenomena-specifically ionic interactions. Her pioneering
work has enabled scientists to trap these fast-moving par-
ticles in concentrations suitable for determining their ar-
rangements and for investigating previously unknown
aspects of their behavior. She has also made contributions
to the study of planetary atmospheres which have produced
valuable information for United States space explorations.
Dr. Jacox joined the National Bureau of Standards in 1962,
and her work has established the National Bureau of Stand-
ards as the world's leading laboratory in the complex study
of free radical chemistry.
"I should like to reflect on the greatest pleasure of all-that
associated with meeting the challenge imposed by Mother
Nature and adding tiny pieces to her gigantic jigsaw puzzle
which portrays the blueprint of our universe. The thrill
associated with the first conception of a research project,
with that first experiment in which the promise of success
is recognized, and with that final experiment in which an-
other portion of the jigsaw puzzle falls into place is great,
indeed-and one which I wish that all of you could share.
But even greater is the satisfaction of having made an en-
during contribution to the body of scientific knowledge
which may enrich our lives in ways as yet undreamed. To
this I aspire."

Portland FEB
Holds Seminar
luring October and November
1972. the Portland Federal Executive
Board, acting through its Minority
Business and Equal Employment Op-
portunity Committee, cosponsored
with the Continuing Education Divi-
sion of the Oregon State System of
llighcr Education, a brown bag or
lunch-and-learn seminar series for
civil service women. The sessions
focused on (1) the new Federal
F?.qual Employment Opportunity regu-
lations and Executive Orders; (2)
creating an image for women of self-
respect and self-worth through self-
evaluation; (3) means for alleviating
identified barriers both inside and out-
side Federal service; and (4) working
on ways to set up communications be-
tween women in various government
agencies.
The Portland Federal Executive
Board-sponsored seminar included
240 persons, ranging in grade level
from GS-2 to GS-12, from 39 differ-
ent agencies and was scheduled for a
six-week period, with three sessions
per week to meet the demand.
As the intent of the seminar was to
expose participants to various points
of view, the speakers were selected
from Federal women who had over-
come barriers to advancement and
from individuals outside the Federal
Government who spoke on utilization
of womanpower, psychology of women
and traditional barriers. This was done
with the hope that the participants
would assimilate this information, eval-
uate what they were receiving, put it
in order in relation to themselves, and
utilize it as a basis for action planning
in areas they identified as being sig-
nificant.
Because of the popularity of the
seminar series, plans were made to
hold a similar seminar in 1973.

detailed to the White House to serve
on Mrs. Lyndon Baines Johnson's
staff for five years.
She also served overseas in Copen-

Chemist Receives
second Honor
Dr B. .lean Apgar, a Research
Chemist at the U.S. Plant, Soil, and
Nutrition Laboratory, Agricultural Re-
search Service, U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Ithaca, N.Y., has been
named one of ten winners of the
Arthur S. Flemming Awards. The
awards are given each year to honor
outstanding individuals under forty
years of age in the scientific and ad-
minisi native fields of the Federal Gov-
ernment.
Dr Apgar was cited for her out-
standing contributions in the field of
trace mineral nutrition. Her studies
in zirn have shown that deficiencies in
this wineral, which slows the healing
process, are suspect in the case of
artcrii>sclerosis and cause reproductive
probl-ins in animals and humans.
In i970 Dr. Apgar won the Fed-
eral Woman's Award for her contri-
butions to the understanding of Ribo-
nuclcnc acid (RNA).
Dr Apgar holds B.A. and B.S. de-
grees from l`exas Women's University
and NI.S. and Ph.D. degrees in bio-
chenn,try from Cornell University.
