Elections for half of the 252 seats of the upper house of Japan's Diet (parliament) will be held in late July 1992. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) appears unlikely to regain the majority it lost in the previous upper house election in July 1989. It appears that continued, but sometimes difficult, cooperation between the LDP and some of the smaller opposition parties is one likely result of the 1992 election. On the other hand, there is a possibility that significant political changes, such as the formation of a coalition government or even a reorganization of the political parties, could result from an opposition victory. As of early June, there are two large sources of uncertainty regarding the upcoming election: first, the LDP could dissolve the lower house and hold a lower house election on the same day as the upper house election, which would alter all calculations of likely outcomes; and second, political scandals which would probably hit the LDP hardest could be brought to light before the election.

A weekly publication, the Texas Register serves as the journal of state agency rulemaking for Texas. Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents such as requests for proposals. After adoption, these rulemaking actions are codified into the Texas Administrative Code.

Letter from Lisa Ortiz of the DagenBela art gallery to Sterling Houston, prominent San Antonio playwright. Lisa writes to invite him to the opening reception of a photography exhibit titled "S.A. Peoplescapes - The 'No" Series." A formal invitation, she goes on to say, will be arriving at a later date.

This report describes a research project that was conducted from August 15, 1985 to February 28, 1992. The project was based on the ultrasonic studies of natural and synthetic silicate melts, and the study of Brillouin scattering of synthetic silicates and oxides. Measurements of the compressional wave velocity and attenuation can be established using the ultrasonic methods. Temperature dependences of silicates can be established by the Brillouin scattering.

Ammonium nitrate production during the operation of the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) has been identified as a major problem. The accumulation of ammonium nitrate deposits in the vent system of the chemical processing cell has substantial safety implications and will require analysis of ammonium ions within DWPF process samples. As a part of the research and development of the DWPF at TNX, an ammonium analysis method developed by Dionex Corporation has been identified and confirmed to provide the required information. This memorandum describes the technical basis of the method, the accuracy and precision of the method, known interferences, and maintenance details.

The K-shell emission from flat and porous aluminum targets is used to infer the efficiency of creating a high temperature (>100eV), thermal plasma with 800 nm, 140 fs laser light. The K-shell emission from flat aluminum targets is fond to be significantly less than that of the porous targets, implying a lower temperature and less efficient coupling between the target and ultra-short pulse laser light.
