Well, I received about 20 ideas, and even a number of people who volunteered to organize some of them. To both those who suggested ideas and to those who "volunteered", I would like to publicly offer my thanks. However, now to the meat of this message. Below is the list of "unchaired" symposia that we (the executive committee) would like to see at future ACS meetings. As you can see, the list is quite diverse, although in every case the central theme of COMP is maintained. If you are interested (or even think you are) please contact me. This is the list that will appear in C&E News in December under "Future Symposia". Watch this list over the next couple of days for a list of what has already been scheduled for Chicago, New Orleans, Boston and San Francisco. I am still looking for symposia chairs for New Orleans (1 or 2 more would be ideal), Boston and SF. Abstracts for Anaheim are due in the end of this month, so I should have a complete Anaheim schedule by early November. George Famini COMP Program Chair Program Chair: George R. Famini, U.S. Army Edgewood Research, Development and Engineering Center, SCBRD-ASI , Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21010; Voice: (410)671-2552; Fax: (410)671-2014; email: grfamini@apgea.army.mil. The following listing represents planned symposia that either do not have an organizer identified, or are still in the preliminary stages and have not been assigned to a meeting. If you are interested in organizing a symposium, either one listed here, or another symposium that fits into the purview of COMP, please do not hesitate to contact the Program Chair, or any member of the COMP Executive Committee.
