Special Sessions

This year will feature, as usual, sessions devoted to special topics. John W. Johns, NRCC, is organizing a symposium on fourier transform spectroscopy: techniques and instrumentation. It will feature talks by Kelly Chance, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory; D. Chris Benner, College of William and Mary; and Daniel Grischkowsky, Oklahoma State University. A symposium on Photoionization Spectroscopy (REMPI, ZEKE, etc.) is being organized by Edward Grant, Purdue and will feature invited talks by himself and John Hepburn, Waterloo. The year of 1995 is also the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the Microwave Laboratory by Walter Gordy at Duke. A special session organized by Frank C. DeLucia, The Ohio State University, will be held in honor of this occasion.

The plenary session on Monday, June 12 will feature talks by Ian Mills, Reading University; David Nesbitt, JILA; and this year's Coblentz Award winner, David Rakestraw, Sandia. This session will also include presentation of the Rao Prizes described below.

You will note that due to the record number of contributed papers and the special events this year, we have been forced to schedule six parallel sessions. This will inevitably increase the number of conflicts, for which we apologize. Please look at this development positively as it clearly demonstrates both the vitality of the science and its abundance at the Symposium.
