Chairwoman: Ladies and gentleman. May I have your attention please? My name is Mary Smith, and I’m going to chair this morning’s opening session. It is my greatest pleasure this morning towel come you, my colleagues from all over the world, to our 16th biennial Cryogenic Engineer lng Conference held jointly for the nineth time in succession with the International Cryogenic Materials Conference.
   Our keynote speaker at the morning’s plenary session will be Dr Scott Macleod from Canada. Dr Macleod will review our accomplishments in the field of cryogenics on its 110th birthday, and consider where our work will lead in the future. Following Dr Macleod’s keynote address, we will be honoured to hear from Dr Chen Zhili from the People’s Republic of China. Dr Chen will speak on "The Development of Cryogenic Materials Science in the PRC over the Last Decade’, a matter of great significance to the world scientific community as you are all very well aware.
   We will have a coffee break at 10 a. m. and at 10:30 a. m. the first set of workshop sessions will begin. Please Check your conference brochuse programme summary for work shop room locations. One additional point, at the request of several of our colleagues from abroad, a special workshop has been set up un der the heading: "Concrete Plans for Implementing Greater International Cooperation on Research Projects. "The session will take place in the Teawood suite on the fourth floor at 8:00 tomorrow morning. Dr Saul Lloy from MIT has kindly agreed to chair that meeting.
Voice I:  Would you repeat that information, please?
Chairwoman: Yes. That’s tomorrow morning at 8:00 in the Teawood Suite on the fourth floor. Dr Lloy pre siding  ....  And now ladies and gentlemen, this morning’s presentation from Dr Scott Macleod. (Applause)
Macleod: Thank you, Ms Chairwoman, Ladies and gentle men. One hundred and ten years after Lois Cailletet in France and Raoul Dictete in Switzerland produced our first cryogens, we have experienced significant accomplishments and identified many opportunities. This morning I will highlight our accomplishments in the field of thermal insulations... (Applause)
Chairwoman :Thank you, Professor Macleod. Since we’ re a little late, I’ll ask you to save your questions and comments on professor Macleod’s paper for the "History of Cryogenics’ workshop this afternoon. And now I’d like to introduce to you our next speaker, Dr. Chen Zhili. His history, like so many Chinese scientists today, is a dramatic one, and his personal story parallels the dynamic achievements of his nation in the past decade. But that’s the topic of his speech to day. So I’ II let him speak for himself. I present you Dr Chen Zhili. (Applause)
Chen: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I shall first ask for your forgiveness of my poor English since I haven’t been in the States for several years. Then I’d like to thank Ms Chairwoman and the conference Committee for offering me this opportunity to speak to you on a subject which is dear to my heart. It is with great pride and pleasure that I stand before you today to report the progress of my nation in the last decade in the area of Cryogenic materials science, though we are the first to point out that it were not for the generosity and aid of other nations during this period we could not have come so far so fast. In the last decade, we have suffered several setbacks, yet we have still made some breakthroughs. And today I’ m going to talk on these breakthroughs... (Applause)
Chairwoman: Thank you very much, Professor Chen, yours was indeed an enlightening overview and it is certainly inspiring to us all to know that you have really gained your place in this field. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it is right the time. I propose the meeting adjourned for lunch.
