Spectroscopic studies of negative molecular ions are                    proposed using a negative ion beam and a coaxial infrared laser                 beam from a color center laser.  Vibrational-rotational                         transitions are induced between the internal states of the ion,                 and the excited ionic state autodetaches producing a fast (keV)                 neutral which is then detected.  It is proposed to measure the                  vibrational-rotational transition of negative ions with                         sufficient resolution to observe hyperfine structure, and detect                metastable states in the autodetachment continuum.  It is also                  proposed to perform photodetachment studies of atomic anions near               threshold, measuring the electron affinity of the atom and                      testing the range of validity of the Wigner law for the behavior                of the cross section near threshold.  The results are relevant to               spectroscopy, quantum chemistry, and to studies of laboratory and               terrestrial plasmas.
