| Abstract: | Gamma-ray astrophysics depends in many ways on multiwavelength studies. The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) Large
Area Telescope (LAT) Collaboration has started multiwavelength planning well before the scheduled 2007 launch of the observatory.
Some of the high-priority multiwavelength needs include: (1) availability of contemporaneous radio and X-ray timing of pulsars;
(2) expansion of blazar catalogs, including redshift measurements; (3) improved observations of molecular clouds, especially
at high galactic latitudes; (4) simultaneous broad-band blazar monitoring; (5) characterization of gamma-ray transients, including
gamma ray bursts; (6) radio, optical, X-ray and TeV counterpart searches for reliable and effective sources identification
and characterization. Several of these activities are needed to be in place before launch.
