         ABSTRACT

         Constraint qualifications for infinite dimensional pro-
         grams  are  often  hard  to verify.  Finite dimensional
         linear  programs always satisfy a constraint qualifica-
         tion, i.e. the primal optimal value equals the dual op-
         timal  value  which  is attained.  We take advantage of
         the special structure of linear programming in infinite
         dimensions  and present an easily verifiable constraint
         qualification.   We  then  obtain a characterization of
         optimality  without  any constraint qualification.  Ap-
         plications include a recent explicit solution of a best
         interpolation problem.
