RE: NSTISSC Documents

Dear Public Affairs,

This confirms my telephone inquiry just now for information on publications of the National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Committee (NSTISSC). We have been referred to your office by the NSTISSC Secretariat (1-888-NSTISSC).

We have obtained two publications from the NSTISSC Web site <http://constitution.ncsc.mil/wws/nstissc/>:

1. "NSTISS IN TELL," a newsletter dated December 1998, and

2. "Index of National Security Telecommunications Information Systems Security Issances," dated 9 January 1998.

Our inquiry is whether these are the latest editions, or if not, whether we may obtain the latest editions.

We operate a Web site, Cryptome, <http://jya.com/crypto.htm> which publishes national security information.

Thank you very much,

John Young
