Second Announcement

Dear Colleague:

	We are pleased to announce the 4th 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 3 & 4, 1995.  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.

	 Enclosed are Announcement Poster, a registration form 
and a housing information. The deadline for registration and  
abstract submission is October 1, 1995.

				Sincerely,
				Jerzy Leszczynski
