            2nd Announcement for the workshop
            ---- -------- --------------------


     COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY and NONLINEAR OPTICAL MATERIALS

                 May 18 to 20, 1992
                         at
        WRIGHT LABORATORY/MATERIALS LAB, POLYMER BRANCH,
              Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, OH

     The objectives of the workshop are:
     1. To review the current status of theory and computational
         methods to model nonlinear optical (NLO) materials.

     2. To provide demonstration of existing quantum chemistry programs
         for modeling NLO materials.

     3. To present key issues in theoretical modeling and identify
         future opportunities in the area of NLO materials.
