Work is proposed in three areas of experimental atomic                  physics.                                                                                1) Continuation of research on the structure of Rydberg                 atoms in a strong magnetic field.  Recently developed apparatus                 has increased the spectral resolution in this area by a factor of               one hundred, opening the way to the new study of the structure of               atoms in a very strong field regime, and of the transition to                   chaos in a quantum system.                                                              2) Continuation of research on the remeasurement of the                 Rydberg constant in hydrogen by millimeter wave transitions in                  Rydberg states, with a design goal for accuracy of 1 part in                    1011.                                                                                   3) Exploratory work on laser spectroscopy of hydrogen in the            micro Kelvin regime, with the goal of studying the properties of                hydrogen at low temperatures, and carrying out high resolution                  spectroscopy.
