Helmut Kohl, on a visit to the US this week, announced the creation
of a joint German-American Academy of Sciences, to maintain scientific ties
between the two countries.
The organisation should be established in the summer, says Michael Koch
of the German Foreign Office. 鈥楾here is a need for scientific organisations
which go beyond the national framework鈥�, says Koch, 鈥榠t鈥檚 the only way global
problems can be addressed.鈥�
