General Announcement
	Symposium on Molecular Photoelectron Spectroscopy
				at the 
     221st National Meeting of the American Chemical Society 
		San Diego, California, 1-5 April 2001

This symposium will bring together researchers using molecular photoelectron spectroscopy to address a wide variety of issues in physical chemistry.  The symposium, which is sponsored by the Division of Physical Chemistry, will be made up of six half-day sessions on the following topics: photoionization dynamics, the spectroscopy of positive ions, the spectroscopy of negative ions, time-domain photoelectron spectroscopy, photoelectron angular distributions, and dissociative photoionization.  Contributions will be included from both experimentalists and theoreticians, and an effort will be made to stress the interplay between them.  A limited number of slots are available for contributed papers in the oral sessions.  These papers will allow the presentation of the latest results and provide the opportunity for researchers to present their results.  Additional contributed papers will also be presented as part of a larger poster session, also sponsored by the Division of Physical Chemistry.  The invited speakers at this Symposium will include:
