    The System Security Society of Southern Saskatchewan and the University
    of North Saskatechwan, Hoople campus announce the First International
    Conference on Secure Information Systems. This conference will feature

    security problems and possible solutions for existing and future operating
    systems and networking environments.

    The Conference will be held March 2 through 4, 1989 on the campus of the
    University of North Saskatechwan in Hoople, Saskatechwan, Canada. Registration
    is $195 until December 1, 1989, $295 afterward. For more information please
    contact Professor Peter Schikele, Department of Computer Science, University
    of North Saskatechwan, Hoople, Saskatechwan, Canada 1Q5 UI9. 

    Note: This conference is a rescheduling of the conference originally
    scheduled for October, 1988 but cancelled after the United States Department
    of Commerce decided that the material was too sensitive to allow
    non-American citizens to read (including the material written by the
    Canadians on the committee). Because of this, the conference has been moved
    to Canada, which doesn't have a complete Freedom of Speech written into it's
    constitution, but has better things to do than worry about ways of
    circumventing civil rights. Americans having trouble getting their papers
    cleared for distribution at the conference should contact Professor Shikele
    about setting up a direct uucp link for the troff source.
