Society bylaw governing papers Bylaw VI, Sec. 6 governs presentation at society meetings.

a. The term "paper" shall include any scientific presentation that can be reduced to writing. b. No paper shall be presented at a national, regional, divisional, or other major meeting unless its title and author(s) appear on the program for the meeting. However, the President, with the concurrence of either the Chair of the Board of Directors or the Vice-Chair of the Council Policy Committee, may authorize an extraordinary symposium at a national meeting provided that (1) the symposium has as its primary focus significant scientific developments too recent for programming deadlines, and (2) the request for authorization for such a symposium has been made jointly by a member of the Society and one of the following: the Chair of a relevant Division of the Society the Chair of the Committee on Divisional Activities, or the Chair of the Committee on Science. c. No paper by a chemical scientist residing in the United States who is not a member of the Society shall appear on the program of a national, regional, divisional, or other major meeting of the Society unless it be a joint paper with one or more Society members, or unless for a national, regional, or national-divisional meeting the author has been invited to present the paper at a symposium organized by a Division of the Society or by Sections of the Society, and the Chair of such Division or of the host Section has certified to the Ex-

ecutive Director of the Society prior to publication of the program that presentation by the author of such paper is important to the success of the symposium. d. Rules corresponding to paragraphs a, b, and c of this section for a cooperative meeting shall be subject to agreement in advance between the organizations concerned but should conform, insofar as possible, to this Bylaw and be subject to approval by the Executive Director of the Society e. The Society assumes no responsibility for the statements or opinions expressed by individuals in papers or discussions thereof. f. The President shall have authority to exclude any paper from a program at anytime prior to its scheduled presentation at a meeting of the Society Board Regulation VII, No. 3 supplements Bylaw VI, Sec. 6 as follows: a. Authorship of papers shall be accredited only to individuals and not to companies or laboratories. b. Therapeutic Papers. It is the policy of the Society to encourage the presentation of chemical papers with pharmacological and physiological aspects but to discourage presentation, by other than qualified clinical investigators, of papers in which clinical interpretations are the principal contribution. Divisions shall adhere to this policy when determining the acceptability of papers for their meeting programs. The Divisions also are urged to exclude from their programs, and especially from any abstracts issued, statements recommending procedures for the treatment of human disease or announcement of any "cures" not confirmed by competent medical authority Any author contributing a paper that includes discussion of the treatment of human disease must submit for review, by representatives of the

Deadlines for abstracts for the Boston ACS meeting, Aug. 18-22 Online abstract submission is preferred. If Web access is unavailable, submit abstracts to the appropriate division program chair, not to ACS. DIVISION

CUSTOM CHEMICALS preparing tertiary butyl esters and N-carboxy anhydrides. In addition, a fully operational facility for high-pressure hydrogenation, as well as pilot-scale facilities for asymmetric hydrogenation and biocatalysis, are now available, he says. BI0TECHN0L0GICAL capabilities also make companies more competitive. For Avecia, its biotechnological capabilities— microbial fermentations for therapeutic proteins and small-molecule biotransformations, as well as solid-phase synthesis of peptides and nucleic acids—are a real differentiator, Jackson says. But at present, perhaps the best advantage here is in mammalian cell culture production. Among fine chemicals manufacturers, DSM and Lonza are the major players in the field. As pressures to reduce costs continue, a powerful advantage is process development. "When a customer asks me to decrease the cost of the product I supply the only way I can respond is to improve our processes and increase productivity" Francois Darrort, president ofClariant's life sciences and electronics division, tells C&EN. To get a real advantage from process development, it must cut significantly the steps required to make the product, allow use ofmore readily available raw materials, or dramatically improve workup, Pollak says. "Gaining a few percentage points of
