Excerpt from Trace Organic Analysis: A New Frontier in Analytical Chemistry; Proceedings of the 9th Materials Research Symposium, Held at the National Bureau of Standards, Gaithersburg, Maryland, April 10-13, 1978 One important mechanism of the Center for Analytical Chemistry for exercising its leadership is in the coordination of special conferences and symposia and providing a congenial atmosphere in which scientists from throughout the world may exchange their views and ideas in the field of analytical chemistry. Experts are invited to participate in National Measurement Laboratory sponsored conferences, and an attempt is made to advise all scientists of these meetings and to invite them to contribute papers to these symposia.
