FACSS The 13th annual meeting of the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS) will be held Sept. 28-Oct. 3 at the Alfonso J. Cervantes Convention and Exhibition Center, St. Louis, Mo. FACSS is the national meeting of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy. Additional sponsoring organizations include the Analytical Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the Association of Analytical Chemists Inc. (ANACHEM), the Analysis and Instrument Division of the Instrument Society of America, the Chromatography Forum of the Delaware Valley, and the Coblentz Society. Approximately 700 technical presentations are listed in the accompanying preliminary program. In addition, 19 short courses will be taught, and an instrumentation exhibit will be presented. The ACS is sponsoring several short courses prior to and in conjunction with the FACSS meeting. For a catalog providing detailed information on the courses and registration procedures, call Karen Mcllvaine, ACS Short Courses Registrar, collect, at 202-872-4508, or write to the Education Division, American Chemical Society, 1155 16th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. Two short courses sponsored by the Society for Applied Spectroscopy are tentatively scheduled for Sept. 27-28. Contact Robert Green, Code 3851, Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, Calif. 93555 (619-939-1627) for information. Eight workshops are scheduled as half- or full-day sessions during the FACSS meeting.
