[uunet!rdvax.enet.dec.com!dawson]

	The official announcement is scheduled for publication in the
	November 12 issue of ANSI Action, however according to the
	best information currently available:
	
		       ANSI public review period for
	       Language Independent Arithmetic, Part 1 (LIA-1)
		    November 13, 1992 - January 12, 1993
		    (comments by January 5, 1993 please)

	Those who wish to comment on the draft standard and wish a
	response need to send hardcopy to:
	
		X3 Secretariat
		Attn: Monica Vago

		Washington, DC  20005

	ANSI committee X3T2 has the responsibility of formulating the
	US position on LIA-1 as an international standard.  In order
	to be of use in formulating that position, comments must be
	received before the next X3T2 meeting on January 5.  Although
	electronic submissions have no official standing with ANSI, it
	would greatly help the work of X3T2 to have electronic copy as
	well.  Send them to the X3T2 committee chairman, Mark Hamilton
	(mahanetwise.com).
	
	X3T2 is a technical committee.  Comments should be technical
	in nature and recommend specific changes to the draft that
	would meet objections raised.  Personal attacks and insults,
	aside from being ill-mannered and unprofessional, tend to
	debase any technical merit the comment might otherwise have.
