The most striking aspect of this conference with respect to galactic studies has been the confrontation between wavelengths. The study of the background radiation requires absolute measurements of low brightness over very extended regions. Such measurements are known to be extremely difficult. We now can confront data on the galactic background at all frequencies. The data from far ultraviolet to submillimeter give particularly useful constraints on both the direct interpretation of the data and on their astrophysical interpretation.
