The Caribbean Commission met for its sixth session at San Juan, Puerto Rico, from May 24 to 29, 1948. Among the subjects discussed were tourism, industrial, development, transportation and communications, population movements, water supply, and the establishment of a scientific and technical information service: and a statistical unit to serve research needs on Caribbean topics. The Commission decided to make a six-month survey of all existing research institutions, projects, and personnel in the region, to serve as a basis for a permanent research information service to be maintained by the secretariat.
