    Notice is hereby given that, on October 17, 1995, pursuant to

Systems International (``COS'') has filed written notifications 
simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal Trade 
Commission reflecting changes in the membership of COS and in the 
membership and activities of certain existing COS Executive Interest 
Groups (``EIGs''). The notifications were filed for the purpose of

activities under COS effective August 8, 1995.
    No other changes have been made in either the membership or planned 
activity of COS. Membership in this group research project remains 
open, and COS intends to file additional written notification 
disclosing all changes in membership.
    On May 14, 1986, COS filed its original notification pursuant to 
Section 6(a) of the Act. The Department of Justice published a notice 
in the Federal Register pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act on June 11,
