The meeting is sponsored by the Division of Analytical Chemistry and the New York and North Jersey Sections of the American Chemical Society; the American Microchemical Society; the Chromatography Forum of Delaware Valley; die New York Microscopical Society; and the Delaware Valley, New England, and New York Sections of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy. Seventy-eight oral and twelve poster sessions are scheduled from Monday, Nov. 18, through Thursday, Nov. 21. An exposition of scientific instruments and supplies will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday thru Wednesday, and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday. Approximately 300 exhibit booths are anticipated. The program will feature symposia honoring this year's award recipients: James Winefordner of the University of Florida will receive the EAS Award for Outstanding Achievements in the Fields of Analytical Chemistry; Harvey S. Gold of DuPont Corporate Analytical Sciences will receive the EAS Award for Achievements in Near-Infrared Spectroscopy; John Waugh of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will receive the EAS Award 620 A
