ARTICLE I-PURPOSE.

It shall be the purpose of the National Research Council to promote research in the mathematical, physical, and biological sciences, and in the application of these sciences to engineering, agriculture, medicine, and other useful arts, with the object of increasing knowledge, of strengthening the national defense, and of contributing in other ways to the public welfare, as expressed in the Executive order of May 11, 1918.

ARTICLE II-MEMBERSHIP.

SECTION 1. The membership of the National Research Council shall be chosen with the view of rendering the council an effective federation of the principal research agencies in the United States concerned with the fields of science and technology named in Article I.

SEC. 2. The council shall consist of representatives of national scientific and technical societies; representatives of the Government, as provided in the Executive order; and representatives of other research organizations and other persons whose aid may advance the objects of the council.

ARTICLE III-DIVISIONS.

SECTION 1. The council shall be organized in divisions of two classes: Divisions dealing with the more general relations and activities of the council, and divisions dealing with special branches of science and technology.

SEC. 2. The initial constitution of the divisions of the council shall be as follows: Divisions of general relations: Division of Federal relations, division of foreign relations, division of States relations, division of educational relations, division of research extension, and research information service.

Divisions of science and technology: Division of physical sciences, division of engineering, division of chemistry and chemical technology, division of geology and geography, division of medical sciences, division of biology and agriculture, and division of anthropology and psychology.

SEC. 3. The number of divisions and the grouping of subjects in Article III, section 2, may be modified by the executive board of the National Research Council.

SEC. 4. The divisions of general relations shall be organized by the executive board of the National Research Council. (Art. IV, sec. 2.)

SEC. 5. To secure the effective federation of the principal research agencies in the United States, provided for in Article II, a majority of the members of each of the divisions of science and technology shall consist of representatives of scientific and technical societies, who shall be chosen as provided for in Article V, section 2. The other members of the division shall be nominated by the executive committee of the division, approved by the executive board of the National Research Council, and appointed in accordance with Article V, section 4.
