1965 – I.T.U. Plenipotentiary Conference
I.T.U. Plenipotentiary Conference
14 September – 12 November 1965
The 1965 Plenipotentiary Conference was held in Montreux, Switzerland and marked the Centenary of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The Conference introduced several changes in the structure of the Union: the Administrative Council was enlarged from 25 to 29 members, and the membership of the IFRB was reduced to 5 instead of 11.
The development of satellite communications as well as the creation of regional telecommunication unions to solve problems of a regional nature obliged the ITU to reorganise its Administrative Conferences so as to be able to deal separately with international and regional questions.
The Conference decided to define 2 types of Administrative Conferences:
- World Administrative Conferences to deal with telecommunication questions of a worldwide character concerning all types of telecommunication services (telegraphy, telephony, radiocommunications, broadcasting, space communications, maritime and aeronautical services, etc.)
- Regional Administrative Conferences to deal with problems of a regional nature; the subject may concern either a given geographical region or a specific telecommunication service of a regional nature. The decisions of these Conferences should be in conformity with the Regulations of the World Administrative Conferences and not conflict with the interests of other regions

Rhodesia Tobacco Association
Rhodesia Tobacco Association
In 1928, after suffering economic loss due to the poor quality of Rhodesian grown tobacco, the Rhodesian Agricultural Union form the Rhodesia Tobacco Association (RTA). The RTA became the voice of the tobacco industry. By 1933, the RTA was further supported by the Tobacco Levy Act under which all growers had to become members and pay a levy.
The Association lobbied the Department of Agriculture to create an advisory board focused exclusively on tobacco research. In 1935 the Tobacco Research Advisory Board was officially constituted by an Act of Parliament. The board consisted of two representatives of tobacco buyers and two growers, the Chief Tobacco Officer and the Director of Agriculture who acted as chairperson. The board was the sole advisor to the Minister of Agriculture. The RTA also successfully lobbied the government in 1935 for a more orderly system of tobacco marketing and in 1936 the Tobacco Marketing and Levy Act was passed.
In 1950, a delegation from the Tobacco Marketing Board met with the British Tobacco Advisory Council in London where it was agreed that British manufacturers would buy a maximum quantity of 140,000,000lbs of Rhodesian tobacco. As a result, the Rhodesia Tobacco Association established a research station at Marandellas to carry out research on all aspects of tobacco farming. Further stations were also established at Trelawney, Shamva, Karoi and Chipinge.
