SUBJECT William T. Pecora Award - 1976
The Directorate of Science and Technology does
not have any candidates for subject award this year. A
survey of all the DDSET components surfaced only one
potential candidate. Unfortunately, subsequent discussions
with the office and the individual concerned have revealed
that the bulk of the information supporting this nomination
was highly classified and could not be sanitized without
totally dilluting the justification for the award.

Nominations are due for
this award on 25 June. When
the Public Service Awards brochure
goes out in April, we ask for
nominations by about 10 May. If
someone came forth with a nomina-
tion by 10 May, we would have six
weeks to work with (not really
very long, but S&T is usually
prompt and they are the most likely
source of a nominee). What do
you think? Ask now, or in the
brochure?

The William T. Pecora Award is presented annually in recognition
of outstanding contributions of individuals or groups toward the under-
standing of the earth by means of remote sensing. The award is sponsored
jointly by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the
Department of the Interior.
The award was established in 1974 to honor the memory of Dr.
William T. Pecora, former Director of the U. S. Geological Survey, and
later, Under Secretary, Department of the Interior. Dr. Pecora was the
motivating force behind the establishment of Earth Resource Sensing
from space. He was a Government leader with broad vision and had a
deep appreciation for the use of satellite system programs in continually
inventorying and managing our national resources more effectively and
in helping us to be more effective in preventing degradation of the
environment.
ELIGIBILITY
All individuals or groups working in the field of earth resource
sensing, including those from both the scientific and nonscientific
community are eligible for this award.
CRITERIA
The award recognizes contributions of those in the scientific and
technical community as well as those involved in the practical applica-
tion of remote sensing. Consideration will be given to sustained or single
contributions of major importance to the art or science of the under-
standing of the earth through observations made from space.
