Subject:

        On behalf of the Executive Committee, I am writing to inform you of a major
reorganization in the office of the Humanities and Social Sciences
Federation of Canada. Specifically, the position of Director of the Aid to
Scholarly Publications Programme has been eliminated and the
responsibilities of this position have been reassigned to that of the
Executive Director. The Executive Committee expects that this reorganization
will be the last step in the restructuring that began with the merger of the
former Canadian Federation for the Humanities and the Social Sciences
Federation of Canada in response to the new financial constraints of the 1990s.

        The Aid to Scholarly Publications Programme, established in 1942,  is a
major component of the Federation.  The Executive Committee is committed to
providing complete administrative support to the outstanding scholars who
devote so much time and expertise to the peer review evaluation of
manuscripts submitted for publication. The Executive Committee expects that,
under the leadership of the Executive Director of the Federation, Dr. Louise
Robert, the administrative staff will fully support these scholars and
continue the ASPP's tradition of excellence of contributing to the
publication of the finest academic books in Canada.

        The Executive Committee is exceedingly grateful to Dr. Michael Carley for
his work as Director of the ASPP since 1985, and for his outstanding
commitment to scholarly publishing in the social sciences and humanities in
Canada.
