Description Draft report of the fifteenth meeting of TAC, held in Rome, 31 January - 4 February 1977, TAC Chairman Ralph Cummings presiding for the first time. TAC was briefed on preparations for the CIAT quinquennial review, and the terms of reference of the IITA quinquennial review. The draft report of the CIP quinquennial review was presented by the review panel leader. TAC comments would be considered in preparing the final version to be reviewed at TAC 16. A progress report on the TAC Review of Farming Systems Research at CIAT, ICRISAT, IITA, and IRRI described the findings of the preliminary desk study and plans for consultant travel to the four IARCs. The TAC Vegetable Research Project Formulation Mission identified sites in Africa and Asia for regional pilot projects. TAC establish a subcommittee to study the proposals further. Maintaining its watching brief on aquaculture, TAC heard reports on a number of international and national programs. Drs. Swaminathan and Carlos reported on an international symposium on coconut research and development held in Kerala. TAC decided to advise the CGIAR that the issue remained on its agenda.TAC resolved to maintain a watching brief on an IDRC plan for an agroforestry research center, submitted for comment, not CGIAR funding. Responding to IBPGR's request for guidance regarding the place of forest genetic resources in its program, TAC asked for a specific proposal to consider. Additional matters discussed included water buffalo research, water use and management at IARCs, plans for an interim review mission to ILCA, ICIPE, and soybean research.(This document is poor quality, and a few words are illegible.)
