This is a long range prospect and is being studied by the Long Range Planning Committee. In the meantime, as engineers and Society members, let's insist that we give the general public what they have every right to receive, and that the heating and air-conditioning systems which we design and install meet the requirements, whatever they may be." -ASHVE President John Haines addressing the first regional ASHVE meeting in Oklahoma City, May, 1955.
