arter asked to veto
House ‘censorship’
of abortion studies
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The National
^Abortion Rights Action League
BOiursglay asked President Carter to
Ivetolegislation extending the life of
If the U.S. Commission on Civil
Fights if the bill comes to him with
an anti-abortion amendment.
Earlier this month, the House
hoted 234-131 to add an amendment
to proposed legislation extending
the commission’s life. The amend-
nent prohibits the commission from
tudying or collecting information
bout any government action deal-
ig with abortion. Legislation with-
ut the amendment has passed the
enate.
The House is advocating censor
ship of the civil rights commission,
said Karen Mulhauser, executive di
rector of NARAL, in a letter to Car
ter.
A commission report added to the
volatile abortion debate. It
suggested that a constitutional
amendment forbidding abortion
would be in conflict with the civil
rights of women.
The bipartisan commission,
headed by Arthur S. Flemming, is
evaluating laws and government
policies as they relate to the denial
of equal protection of the law based
on sex, race or national origin.

Six stories, one plot:
The Romance of Our Age
i s Te ch nology
||| Rendezvous
In Spain.
You’re a software
applications
specialist.
When you picked
this career, you
never dreamed that one day you’d
rendezvous in Barcelona, Spain
with two Navy destroyers.
But when your company is Texas
Instruments and one of your cus
tomers is the U. S. Sixth Fleet, you
learn to expect the unexpected.
The destroyers are equipped with
Tl computers and they need new
software fast. You come aboard and
sail with the Fleet until your job is
completed.
Not a bad assignment for a soft
ware specialist named Susie. You’re
glad you got into technology.
The Incredible
Talking Chip.
You’re an inte
grated circuit
designer at Tl.
You’ve helped
find a way to make
a chip talk, something no integrated
circuit has ever done before.
First application: an electronic
aid that helps children learn to spell.
The world’s first talking textbook.
And that’s just the beginning.
The talking chip’s potential is mind-
bending. You’re glad you got into
technology.
i The Salesman’s
Dream.
You’re a Tl sales
engineer. You’ve
got what is prob
ably one of the
most irresistible
selling messages in the history of
salesmanship.
It goes like this: “Hold this TI-59
Scientific Calculator in your hand.
Now, let’s compare it to the most
popular computer of the 1950s —
the IBM 650.
“The 650 weighed almost three
tons, required five to 10 tons of air
conditioning and 45 square feet of
floor space. And it cost $200,000
in 1955 money.
“Now look at theTI-59 Calculator
you’re holding in the palm of your
hand. It has a primary memory
capacity more than double that of
the 650. It performs its principal
functions five to 10 times faster.
And it retails for under $300.’’
With a story like this, the hardest
part of your job is holding onto your
sample. You're glad you got into
technology.
The Joy Of
Complication.
You’re in semi
conductor design
at Tl. You love it
when people at
parties ask you
what you do. You say, “I make
things complicated.” (Pause.)
“In fact, I got promoted recently for
creating some major complications.’’
What you mean (but seldom
explain) is this: the more active
element groups (AEGs) you can put
on a single chip of silicon, the more
the average AEG cost goes down.
In short, you make things cheaper
by making them more complicated.
Your work made it possible for a
Tl consumer product that sold three
years ago for about $70 to sell
today for $14.95.
Your future looks wonderfully
complicated. You’re at 30,000 AEGs
per chip now and 100,000 is in sight.
You’re glad you got into
technology.
fHHIf, I Outsmarting
Smog.
You’ve always
designed air
borne radars for
Tl customers.
* v. Now, all of a
sudden you know your next radar
design is going to stayatthe airport.
On the ground.
It’s on the ground that traffic
controllers at Los Angeles Inter
national Airport have a problem.
They can “see” incoming and out
going airplanes on their radar just
fine, so long as the airplanes are in
the air.
But when the airplanes are on the
ground —touching down, taking off,
taxiing, parking — they are some
times impossible to see and control.
Ground smog obscures them.
You believe you have an answer
to the smog problem. You dig out
the plans for an airborne ground
mapping radar you helped design.
You adapt the design so the L. A.
controllers can use it to see through
smog. It works beautifully.
Today your smog-piercing radar
is widely known as Airport Surface
Detection Equipment (ASDE). It’s
standard equipment at L. A. Inter
national and at the airport in
Geneva, Switzerland. Other airports
with smog and snow problems are
expected to have it soon.
You’re glad you’re in technology.
Oil Sleuths
International.
You’re a geo
physicist. A good
one. You could be
with any of the big
oil companies. But
you wanted to get with a company
whose specialty is the same as
yours. Exploration.
That’s why you’re at Tl, in
Geophysical Service.
Tl explorer ships, Tl photo
geologic aircraft and Tl truck- and
tractor-mounted vibrator systems
are working all over the world.
They’re finding oil. And they’re
identifying areas where no oil
exists, thereby saving huge losses
in drilling costs.
Also, Tl’s worldwide computer
network and its Advanced Scientific
Computer is making 3-D recording
and processing possible. This ex
clusive exploration technique is the
only practical way to unscramble
“no-record” areas on land and sea.
You’re a happy sleuth. You’re in
on the biggest hunt in history. And
your team is out in front.
You’re glad you got into
technology.
If you’re not in technology yet, think it over.
If you are in technology, talk to Texas Instruments.
