PLENARY SESSION

This is the 10th IECEC. We just completed our first decade

of activity which saw the successful development of ad¬

vanced power systems for space. As we look toward the

next decade, we see a resurgence of interest in terrestrial

power. We must be able to utilize our advanced technologyto develop high performance in economically acceptable

systems that will permit a solution of our present energy

crisis. We look toward the energy suppliers and energy

users to provide guidance in setting goals and direction for

research and development on advanced energy conversion

techniques. This session will establish the importance of the

entire conference by providing the insight of our nation's

energy leaders.
