The XXth General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union
was held in Baltimore, Maryland USA from August 02 to 11, 1988. The
Inaugural Ceremony on August 02 was held in the presence of
representatives of the United States Governn: ent, t e S ate of
Maryland, the City of Baltimore and the host institution -the Johns
Hopkins Umverslty- as well as of the National and Local Organising
Committees. The scientific programme maintained the high standards
of the Union and the scientific proceedings may be found either in
this volume or in volume 8 of Highlights of Astronomy. The
scientific programme was organised by the 40 Commission Presidents
and coordinated by the General Secretary (1985-1988), Dr. J.-P.
Swings. The local arrangements were effectively made through the
National Organising Committee under the Chairmanship of Prof. F.
Drake and the Local Organising Committee under the co-Chairmanship
of Prof. A. Oavidsen and Dr. R. Giacconi. The smooth day to day
operation of the meeting resulted from the incomparable dedication
of Karen Weinstock and Harold Screen
