SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear Colleague:

	We are pleased to announce the 3rd conference on CURRENT TRENDS IN
 COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY. The symposium organized by Jackson State University 
 will cover all areas of Computational Chemistry as well as Quantum Chemistry. 
 The local host of the conference is US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment 
 Station in Vicksburg.               
 The meeting will be held at the Holiday Inn of Vicksburg (40 miles west from
 Jackson), Mississippi on November 11 & 12, 1994.  The format consists of a 
 series of plenary lectures and poster presentations on Friday and Saturday
 followed by a banquet on Saturday evening. In addition a welcoming
 reception and  poster presentations are scheduled on Friday night.
 There will be talks covering applications as well as theory.  

	We are planning to publish extended abstracts (up to 4 pages) of 
all invited talks and poster presentations.  Original scientific 
contributions will be published in the special issue of the international 
journal "STRUCTURAL CHEMISTRY".  The manuscripts should be submitted in 
triplicate upon the arrival at the registration desk. The submitted papers 
will follow the regular refereeing procedure.
	
	 Enclosed are Announcement Poster, a registration form 
and a housing information. The deadline for 
abstract submission is September 30, 1994.
