23rd IUPAP General Assembly

* 9800985 Franz 1995年，应IUPAP美国联络委员会（USLC）的要求，美国国家科学院（NAS）院长向IUPAP执行理事会发出邀请，邀请其在美国举行第23届大会（GA），与计划于1999年3月22日至26日举行的美国物理学会（APS）百年纪念会议一起举行。 国际理论和应用物理学联合会执行理事会和大会的会议日期为1999年3月16日至21日。 1996年，第23届大会接受了这一邀请，NAS在USLC的主持下任命了一个国家组织委员会（NOC）。 财政和行政责任已授予美国物理学会（APS）。 大会管理国际理论和应用物理学联合会的事务，每三年举行一次会议，最近一次会议于1996年在瑞典举行。 美国于1987年在华盛顿主办了IUPAP GA。 大会的组织和业务工作包括选举官员，22个纪律委员会和附属委员会、官员和委员会的报告，以及就有关政策事项的拟议决议采取行动。 通过将大会与APS百年纪念联系起来，将为代表们提供更多的论坛、圆桌会议和科学会议。 这将有助于会议的科学活力，并使与会者能够与比通常情况下更多的同事进行互动。 这次会议将促进美国和国外物理研究的合作，并将有利于美国的计划。 ***

*** 9800985 Franz In 1995, at the request of the U.S. liaison Committee to IUPAP (USLC), the President of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) issued an invitation to the IUPAP Executive council to hold its 23rd General Assembly (GA) in the United States, in conjunction with the centenary meeting of the American Physical Society (APS) planned for March 22-26, 1999. The dates for the meetings of both the IUPAP Executive Council and General Assembly are March 16-21, 1999. In 1996, the 23rd General Assembly accepted this invitation and a National Organizing Committee (NOC) was appointed by the NAS under the auspices of the USLC. Financial and administrative responsibility has been conferred on The American Physical Society (APS). The GA governs the affairs of IUPAP and meets once every three years, the last having been held in Sweden in 1996. The U.S. has hosted the IUPAP GA in 1987, in Washington, DC. The organizational and business work of the GA consists of selection of officers, reports from the 22 disciplinary commissions and affiliated commissions, officers and committees, and action on proposed resolutions on policy matters. By associating the GA with the APS centenary, additional fora, round tables and scientific sessions will be provided for the delegates. This will contribute to the scientific vitality of the meeting and permit the participants to interact with a much larger group of colleagues than would normally be the case. This meeting will promote improved cooperation in physics research in the U.S. and abroad, and will benefit the U.S. program. ***
