          1)Purpose.  The author introduced this bill to honor the life  
            and accomplishments of Frederick E. Terman.

          2)Background on Mr. Terman.  Frederick E. Terman was born on  
            June 7, 1900, in English, Indiana.  Mr. Terman attended  
            Stanford University, where he completed his undergraduate  
            degree in chemistry and his master's degree in electrical  
            engineering, and returned to Stanford University in 1925 as a  
            member of the engineering faculty.  For his first 12 years he  
            was the only faculty member teaching electronics, then known  
            as radio engineering.  

            In 1932, Mr. Terman wrote and published a textbook on radio  
            engineering, which was one of the most important books on  
            electrical and radio engineering and remains a good reference  
            on these subjects.  He was elected president of the Institute  
            of Radio Engineers in 1940, the first person ever to be  
            elected from west of Pittsburgh.  

            During World War II, Mr. Terman directed a staff of more than  
            850 at the Radio Research Laboratory at Harvard University, an  
            organization that was the source of various technologies used  
            to counter enemy radar during the war.  After the war, Mr.  
            Terman returned to Stanford and was appointed Dean of the  
            School of Engineering.  

            Mr. Terman created the Stanford Industrial Park to associate  
            industry more closely with the university.  Mr. Terman  
            encouraged the licensing of Stanford University inventions and  
            the establishing of faculty-consulting relations as a means of  
            getting Stanford ideas into the core of industry.  

            Mr. Terman passed away on December 19, 1982, in Palo Alto,  
            California.
