We next give a few specific examples of theoretical accomplishments of the 1970's to illustrate the ways in which theory contributes to the advance of astronomical knowledge and go on to present a list of scientific questions to illustrate the breadth and scope of the scientific agenda for the coming decade. We then assess the impact of the Greenstein report and the current resources for theoretical astrophysics research.

The Panel is greatly concerned about the support of research in the basic physics and chemistry that is needed for the interpretation of astronomical observations and for the development of quantitative theories of astrophysical phenomena. Laboratory studies of atomic, molecular, and solid-state processes occurring in astronomical objects constitute an interdisciplinary

Astronomy Division should seek to augment existing research programs in basic physics to ensure that laboratory astrophysics is included as a strong component of the activities. In addition, the NSF Physics Division should continue support of its programs in laboratory astrophysics.
