Glassboro Summit and Signing of IIASA Charter in Royal Society

Howard Raiffa YSSP Talk in 1992 The IIASA charter was signed in London in October 1972, but the history goes back six years earlier. In 1966 American president Lyndon Johnson gave a rather remarkable speech — in the middle of the Cold War — in which he said it was time that the scientists of the United States and the Soviet Union worked together on problems other than military and space matters, on problems that plague all advanced societies, like energy, our oceans, the environment,

  • health. And he called for a liaison

between the scientists of East and West.
