Edward J. O'Donnell, USN (ret.), president of the college. The two-day meeting will again be held in the Seamen's Church Institute, 15 State Street, New York City. The 1971 Maritime Management Institute will deal with existing problems inherent in intermodal movement, from source of origin to destination. It will also seek to forecast the future in this regard. The first day's two sessions—morning and afternoon — will deal with present systems, their merits, faults, loopholes, and the changes which should be made in the interests of great- er efficiency. The final day's meetings will be devoted to a "hard look at the future" and predictions of "tomorrow's transportation systems" by leaders from the various modes of the transport industry. Rear Adm. John Harllee, USN (ret.), former Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commis- sion, will serve as general chairman of this year's Institute. Its four-man steering com- mittee is comprised of Richard J. Long, asso- ciate dean for continuing education, Maritime College chairman; Peter J. Finnerty, manager of administrative services, Sea-Land Service, Inc.; William L. Hamm, general secretary, Associated India, Pakistan, Ceylon, Burma Conferences, and William H. Sembler, profes- sor of marine transportation, Maritime Col- lege. The keynote speaker will be James F. Fanseen, Vice Chairman, Federal Maritime Commission. The Maritime Management Institute is held annually under the sponsorship of the Mari- time College's Office for Continuing Educa- tion, and it provides a forum for discussion and exploration of a subject of topical interest and importance to the transportation field. Its four sessions—morning and afternoon each day—bring together large numbers of leaders of the various facets of the transportation in- dustry, along with officials of the several Gov- ernment agencies also involved.
