Dear Friends of Ada: I am pleased to announce that Ada is now an international standard. On March 12, 1987, the Central Secretariat of the International Standards Organization (ISO) announced unanimous approval of the Draft International Standard (DIS) 8652 - Programming Language Ada. The standard will be known as ISO/8652-1987 Programming Languages - Ada, and will be published as a one page endorsement of the American and French Ada standards, ANSI Standard 1815A-1983 and AFNOR Standard NF Z 65-700, respectively. I would like to thank all of those who initially contributed to the development of ANSI/MIL-STD-1815A and to congratualate all those who helped to make its endorsement as an international standard a reality.
