The 7th International Workshop in the series Laser Interaction and Related Plasma Phenomena continued the high standards established by the earlier meetings in this series. It was organized under the directorship of Heinrich Hora and George H. Miley at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, with Fred Schwirzke as the local organizer. These Workshops have presented many 'firsts' in laser plasma interactions and especially in laser fusion. Some presentations provided continuity with the past, most represented advancements; in some Workshops, however, progress did not appear to be occurring as rapidly as in others.
