News " T h e r e will be a constant and continu ing number of challenges for analyti cal chemistry to meet." And all for a good purpose. As Kenneth Picha of t h e University of Massachusetts' En ergy Office explained, "Synthetic fuels make a lot of sense. If we can demon strate the production of synthetic fuel at $30 or $35 a barrel, whatever the number comes out to be, it sets a cap on O P E C prices."
New Techniques in Analytical Instrumentation On the Monday and Tuesday pre ceding the Eastern Analytical Sympo sium, Robert S. First, Inc. is spon soring a two-day conference to provide an u p d a t e on the state of the art of an alytical instrumentation. "New Tech niques in Analytical Instrumentation" will be held on October 29 and 30 in New York City, followed by the East ern Analytical Symposium, October 31-November 2, 1979 (see page 1071 A, this issue). New Techniques in Analytical In strumentation is aimed at the execu tive responsible for analyzing and pro jecting trends or developing market strategies. Its m a r k e t orientation makes it of potential interest to chief executives, marketing managers, and corporate planning managers, but its tecbnical aspects will interest R&D managers as well. Leading scientists and experts in their fields will present concise, mar ket-oriented papers on new tech niques in analytical instrumentation. Corresponding topics will be ad dressed by corporate executives pro viding practical marketing approaches to this field. Emphasis will be placed on trends, market needs, competition, impact of government regulations, and a look at the future. During the con ference there will be time for informal discussions. In case you don't want to wait until October to get this information, you're in luck; because the conference (with the same agenda) will be held at the Amsterdam Hilton in Amsterdam, T h e Netherlands, on September 1718, 1979.
