A brief review was given of the substance of the discussion of the previous business meeting of Nov. 21 1985 on the subject matter of the commission. There was general endorsement of the view of that meeting that the purpose of the Commission was to keep a watching brief on the energy exchange processes of atomic and molecular physics, and of related spectral and structure data of atomic and molecular species. Such information is essential to the use of astronomical observations for astrophysical diagnosis and modelling.
