Dear Mr. Jaeschke, As you should note from the press release from X3 today, X3L2 voted to reaffirm X3.4:1986 (7-bit ASCII) for another 5 years. Thank you for your comments a year ago. These helped me to start lobbying the X3L2 members for our recent vote. X3L2 has appointed a liaison to X3J11. Would you please add him to your mailing list so that he obtains a copy of the appropriate mailings? His name is: Tim Greenwood Digital Equipment Corporation 110 Spit Brook Road ZK02-3/Q18 Nashua, NH 03062-2698 603 881-0575 603 881-2257 (fax) Greenwood@r2me2.enet.dec.com Thanks, Ed Hart chairman of X3L2 301 953-6926
