The Zucker Plan- ning Committee is responsible for the financial oversight of the Zucker endow- ment. Although the Zucker endowment exists within the IEEE Foundation, the IAS is responsible for deter- mining the programs that will be funded, consistent with Zuck- er’s wishes. In addition, it is the intent of the Zucker Planning Com- mittee to ensure that the endowment is maintained so that the Zucker programs can be funded in perpetuity.

At that time, the automation of longwall equipment and surface-mine haulage trucks became topics of increased interest, which continues today. More recently, the U.S. Congress enacted the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, commonly known as the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act. The act was created in response to a cluster of mine disasters that occurred in early 2006 and iden- tified the need for wireless postacci- dent communications and electronic tracking systems.
