5 Antitrust (Newsl.) 1 (1983-1984)

handle is hein.journals/antitrust5 and id is 1 raw text is: AntitRust © The Section of Antitrust Law Volume 5 American Bar Association Number 1 1155 East 60th Street Fall 1983 Chairman's Report by Richard W. Pogue At the annual meeting last August, the Council and our Committee Chairmen, Vice-Chairmen and Sub- committee Chairmen were presented with six initiatives for the coming year. In summary, these initiatives are (1) greater Section involvement by and with corporate counsel; (2) greater Section involvement by and with economists; (3) increased coordina- tion between the Antitrust Section and other Sections and bar groups; (4) greater visibility of the Section on legislative issues and the assumption of a leadership role in addressing those issues; (5) membership growth; and (6) more effective marketing of Section publications. We have now completed the first quarter of the 1983-84 program year, and I am pleased to report that the Section has made significant progress in each of the foregoing areas. The National Institute on Antitrust and Economics hopefully will be but a first step in increasing our interaction with leading economists in the antitrust field; and we now have in place a fairly exhaustive list of liaison appointments to other Sections, Divisions and bar groups, as well as our own liaison from the Young Lawyers Division, Barbara Reeves. On the legislative front, we have recently submitted to Congress a detailed report setting forth the Sec- tion's views on proposed Illinois Brick legislation and our Task Forces on the Tunney Act, City of Boulder and the Administration's legislative proposals have similar efforts underway.

The Council also received a report from the Editorial Board of Antitrust Law Developments (Second).
