In view of the n u m b er of enquiries being received about 
th e publication of th e  Proceedings o f the Eighth In te r­
nationa] Congress, I am  concerned to give to M em ber- 
O rganisations th e  follow ing facts in connection with the 
m atter.
1. A rrangem ents fo r publishing the Proceedings of a 

W C P T  C ongress are th e responsibility of the Mem- 
ber-O rganisation acting as host to th e Congress.

2. I t will be recalled th at in th e  case of the E ighth C o n ­
gress, th e Proceedings w ere due to appear within six 
m onths o f the date o f Congress. In th e autum n 1979 
N ewsletter, it was noted th a t illness am ong th e staff 
responsible fo r the editorial work and o th er internal 
difficulties had caused delay in publication.

3. A t the meeting o f the Executive C om m ittee in 
N ovem ber, 1979, publication of the Proceedings by 
th e end o f 1979, was confirmed.

4. It is now learned from  Israel th at th e book is still 
not ready. It is no t the C onfederation, but the N a tio ­
nal U nion o f Physiotherapists in Israel which is re­
sponsible fo r publishing th e book; and while there is 
no direct action th a t the Executive C om m ittee can 
take, the N ational U nion of P hysiotherapists is being 
urged to take all necessary steps to conclude the 
m atter satisfactorily an d  w ithout fu rth e r delay.

5. U nfortunately , fo r obvious reasons, headquarters is 
not in a position to  deal w ith enquiries which should 
be directed either to  the address given on the order 
form , o r to  th e N ational U nion o f P hysiotherapists 
in Israel th e  address o f which is:
N ational U nion o f P hysiotherapists in Israel,
G eneral Secretary, M r Ben Moshe,
H istad ru t Building,
93 A rlosoroff Street,
Tel Aviv,
Israel.
