and the Commerce Department has developed information on the likely need and acceptance of these prod­ ucts. The Latin American Division of Commerce is sponsoring a process control instrumentation exhibition at the U.S. Trade Center in Mexico City, January 20-24,1975. A market re­ search study in Mexico has identified sales opportunities in process measur­ ing and control instruments and sys­ tems, including gas and chemical anal­ ysis equipment; associated control and regulator valves; sensors, primary ele­ ments, and accessories; miniature electronic equipment for junction with computers; and electronic equipment for laboratories.
