The cartographic conference will be held concurrently with
the  42ndAnnual Meeting of the German Society of

will be the 2nd   geotechnica - an international trade fair
and congress for geosciences  and technology.    This trade
fair is expected to draw 20,000  technical visitors to
exhibits from 500 vendors.

The theme of ICC '93 is 'Maps for Knowledge, Action and

following categories:

1 - Maps for Knowledge Representation - New Tasks, New
Techniques, New Terms;   Space and Map Perception and
Language  Representation;   Atlas Cartography;   Map Based

Americans can get a copy of the Preliminary Program from:
       Robert Marx, Chair, USNC Papers Committee

       Springfield, VA  22152.

The U. S. National Committee for the ICA will attempt to
raise funds  to help defray some of the travel costs of U.S.
authors.   This will be  done so that the U. S. will have
good representation at the Conference  and our research
community will have the opportunity to interact  with
colleagues at the international level.   Policies dictate
that for  anyone to receive funds from the U. S. National
Committee, that  person's paper must pass a blind review by
the National Committee  as well as be accepted by the
Organizing Committee of the host  country.   The U. S.
National Committee encourages young scholars,  women and
minorities to apply through the Committee to compete  for
support.

Authors who want to apply for funding through the U.S.
National  Committee should
1 - Write to Robert Marx to get a copy of the Preliminary
    Program with the proper forms
2 - By June 1, 1992, submit an abstract to Germany on the
    forms provided in the Preliminary Program
3 - Submit a copy of that abstract by June 1 to Robert Marx,
    Chair, USNC Papers Committee
