Dear Colleague:

     We are pleased to announce the 5th conference on CURRENT
TRENDS IN COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY. This 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 Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiments
Station in Vicksburg.
     The meeting will be held at the Holiday Inn of Vicksburg
(40 miles west of Jackson), Mississippi, on November 1 & 2, 1996.
The format consists of a series of plenary lectures and poster
presentations on Friday and Saturday, covering applications as
well as theory. In addition, a banquet is scheduled on Friday
night and a reception and dinner on Saturday evening.
     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 a special issue of
the Journal of Molecular Structure (THEOCHEM). Manuscripts for
inclusion in the special issue should be submitted in triplicate
upon arrival at the registration desk. The submitted papers will
follow the journal's standard refereeing procedure.
     Following this letter are the conference schedule and a
registration form. The deadline for registration and abstract
submission is September 30, 1996.

                        Sincerely,
