Dr. Queneau sCQmments are adapted from his HenryiKrum Lectures delivered in 1984. His viewpoint de-rives from 50 years experience in extracting metals from the earth. His ideas refute the pessimism that is so broadly expounded by the American business community. He strongly ad-vocates an aggressive leadership role for high technology in revitalizing our primary metals industries.
