中国科协名誉主席钱学森曾分别致函中国科协主席朱光亚和书记处书记刘恕谈他对全国性学会改革的看法。钱老说,全国性学会改革必须符合建立社会主义市场经济体制的精神,从国家部门和地区分割的状态中解放出来,能独立自主地和全国一盘棋地工作。每一个全国性学会都是在全国范围内活动的,不能再设同科名称的地方学会 Qian Xuesen, Honorary Chairman of China Association for Science and Technology, wrote to Zhu Chuanya, chairman of China Association for Science and Technology and Liu Shu, secretary of the Secretariat, respectively, about his views on the reform of the National Association of Societies. Qian said that the reform of the national society must be in conformity with the spirit of establishing a socialist market economic system, be freed from the state divided by the state departments and regions, and be able to work independently with the whole country. Each national society is a nationwide activity, can not be the same place of the local academic society
