Considerable progress has been made over the last few years in ground based optical interferometery. The Mark III optical interferometer at Mount Wilson which at this time is operating with a 12 meter north south baseline is capable of measuring amplitude and phase. Experience gained from this facility will allow for the development of a large optical array. Preliminary plans are described for a facility that will be capable of milliarcsecond imaging of celestial objects at wavelengths from 0.4 to 10 microns. If funded this array will be in operation by 1993.
