    Below is an excerpt from AJPO's 9X announcement at Tri-Ada '88:

----------------------------- cut here -----------------------------------

   "Requests should be focused on language changes that have significant
    utility to a wide group of Ada users.  All requests must be accompanied
    by sound, well-articulated justifications.  Ada commentaries previously
    approved by the AJPO will automatically be considered during this
    revision process and need not be resubmitted.  [...] Requests should 
    be sent either via electronic mail to Ada9X@ajpo.sei.cmu.edu or 
    via surface mail to:


                Ada Joint Program Office
                Ada 9X Project
                Room 3E114, Pentagon
                Washington, D.C.  20301-3080

    All requests will be made available to the public via electronic
    means through the Ada Joint Program Office."
