[Sigah-l] SIG-AH re-activation

[Ralph Dumain]

This sounds like the mission statement I (re)wrote.  I changed the original 
mission statement, which dated from the end of the '60s, I think, as it was 
badly formulated and overly partisan.

When someone else inquired into SIG/AH a few years ago (presumably via the 
ASIS mailing list), I related some of my personal experiences to him, but I 
never heard of any follow up to the brief flurry of interest that surfaced 
then.
