 Industry Association of Japan.

 He will also discuss the impressive inroads and investments
 being made by Korean and Taiwanese FPD producers and the efforts within
 Japanese industry to increase manufacturing productivity. Additionally,
 Dr. Hartney will provide an update on ARPA programs in flat panel
 display technology research and early U.S. manufacturing efforts.
