Abstract
At the IAU General Assembly in Patras in August 1982, Commission 33 set up a Working Group on the Galactic Constants. The Working Group is charged with developing a critical review of the values of the main galactic constants, for publication before the General Assembly in 1985. It has not been specifically charged to come up with a proposal for a revised set of values, although it can do so if it wishes.
