Edsger Dijkstra's comments on the Blue, Green, Yellow, and Red languages
are in Sigplan Notices, Volume 13, Number 10, October 1978.  An
editor's note says:

    At some time in the future, it is expected that the original designs
    will be published by the N.T.I.S.

(Presumably N.T.I.S.is the National Technical Information Service.)
