The 1993 International Cryogenic Materials Conference (ICMC) was held at the Albuquer que Convention Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico in conjunction with the Cryogenic Engi neering Conference (CEC) on July 12-16. The interdependent subjects of the two conferences attracted more than eight hundred participants, who came to share the tatest advances in low temperature materials science and technology. They also came for the important byproducts of the conferences: identification of new research areas, exploration of collaborative research possi bilities, and the establishment and renewal of professional relationships. K. Theodore Hartwig (Texas A&M University), asChairman ofthe 1993 ICMC; T. Scott Kreilick (Hudson International Conductors), as Program Chairman; and thirteen other Program Committee members expertly arranged the ICMC sessions and activities. The contributions of the CEC board and its Conference Chairman Walter F. Stewart of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) were centrat to the organization ofthe tenth CEC/ICMC, which was hosted by LANL. The local arrangements and management, under the skillful guidance of Jan C. Hull (LANL), were exemplary. Frederick Edeskuty (LANL) served as Exhibits Chairman, and L.
