-ABOUT THE AUTHORS

LESTER LEES, director of the Environmental Quality

Laboratory, is professor of aeronautics and environ-mental engineering at Caltech He is the author of numerous papers on problems of high speed flight, especially entry of missiles and spacecraft into plan-etary atmospheres He has also worked on the identi-fication of such objects by means of their wake signa-tures He is a consultant to the aerospace industry and

to several government agencies In the last two years his main interests have shifted to large-scale environ-mental problems He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering

MARK BRALY is administrative assistant to the director

of the Environmental Quality Laboratory He has an M.A degree in political science and another in public policy and administration from the University of Wis-consin, Madison, where he was a Ford Foundation fellow in 1968-70 Following a tour of news reporting

in Houston, he served as Assistant U.S press attache in Bangkok and director of two United States Information Service branch posts in South Thailand

California, Los Angeles, Law School where he served

as senior editor of the UCLA Alaska Law Review He

served as research assistant at the Environmental Ouall!y Laboralory

DR KENNETH HEITNER trained as a naval architect

and marine engineer at the Webb Institute of Naval Architecture, graduating in 1964 He received a Ph.D degree in applied mechanics from Caltech in 1969 and then joined the Institute Earthquake Engineering Labor-atory until 1970 when he entered the Department of the Navy for a year of underwater research Dr Heitner joined the Environmental Quality Laboratory in early

1971 where he is involved in evaluating air pollution control techniques and in studies relating to the energy crisis in California

JAMES HENRY began working on automotive emission

control technology in 1970 as an undergraduate partic-ipant in the cross-country Clean Air Car Race jointly sponsored by MIT and Caltech Drawing on a back-grol.lnd that includes both formal engineering training

at Caltech and practical auto mechanics in high school,

he has been able to bring theory and hardware together

in his work as a full-time staff member of the EQL-sponsored Clean Air Car Project The project tests and evaluates automotive emission control techniques

BURTON H KLEIN is a professor of economics at

Cal-tech He was formerly head of the Economics Depart-ment at the RAND Corporation and has been consultant
