During the past week we have heard a considerable number of papers dealing with spectroscopic observations in the 1-5μm region of the infrared. I predict that as instruments and detectors continue to improve, such observations will play a major role in the study of interstellar molecules in both molecular clouds and circumstellar clouds around evolved stars. Fourier Transform spectrometers and Fabry Perot interferometers have already yielded spectra of such sources with spectral resolution and radial velocity precision fully comparable to millimeter wave observations. The critical need is to improve the limiting magnitude of such observations by 3-5 stellar magnitudes so that one can study large numbers of sources rather than the few brightest in each class.

ABSTRACTAbsorption line spectroscopy in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions can provide important probes of interstellar chemistry. Significant recent developments include the application of optical absorption line techniques to the study of thick molecular clouds and the improvements in infrared detectors that will eventually lead to effective interstellar spectroscopy in the infrared. Demands for basic molecular data will grow in scope and in level of precision.
