Wallace, Asst. Editor Iolume 4, No. 1, Fall 1977 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT The strides which the College has taken in recent years under the direction of my illustrious predecessors are very substantial. The number and quality of our publications have improved. Our meetings, always good fun, have had programs of outstanding professional excellence. Thanks to a great effort by our dedicated Estate and Gift Tax Committee, the College has moved firmly into the forefront of those who have been trying to shape and guide our nation's policy in the estate and gift tax area. None of this, of course, would be possible were it not for the help and assistance cheerfully given by so many of our members. This support is vital to our continued progress.

Our meeting site, The Canyon Hotel Racquet & Golf Resort is one of the most popular resorts in Southern California during the winter months. The space blocked for ACPC is, therefore, in great demand and we are committed to a 40 day cut-off factor. Thismeans unsold rooms must be released back to The Canyon by January 19, 1978.
