  I report on the APOKASC catalog, a joint effort between the Kepler
Asteroseismic Science Consortium and the SDSS-III APOGEE spectroscopic survey.
It will contain both seismic and spectroscopic values for stars observed by
both surveys. I discuss the derivation of spectroscopic parameters and their
uncertainties from the H-band spectra delivered by the APOGEE spectrograph,
illustrating the sensitivity of stellar spectra to some parameters, such as
Teff, and lack of sensitivity to others, such as logg.
