LETTER TO PARTICIPANTS

Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee we take great pleasure in inviting
you to join us in Jerusalem in July 1996 for the 4th Congress of the World
Association of Theoretically Oriented Chemists.

The purpose of the Congress is to bring together scientists interested in the
development of various theoretical and computational methods, including
molecular modeling, and their application to organic, inorganic,
organometallic, biochemical, and biomedical problems. The WATOC Congress
also aims to attract experimentalists who may wish to employ computational
methods in their research.

We and our colleagues in the National Organizing Committee are proud to host
this important international meeting, to take place in the unique setting of
Jerusalem, spiritual center of the three monotheistic religions. The city has
a remarkable blend of the ancient - with its numerous holy and historical
sites, and the modern - the beauty and convenience of a new city with the
best tourist facilities. Jerusalem offers unforgettable views and visits
to world-famous sites: the Western Wall, the Dome of the Rock, the Church
of the Holy Sepulchre and Via Dolorosa, as well as many more. This year
Jerusalem celebrates its 3000th anniversary which is marked by many
special events.

We hope that you will join us and take the opportunity to participate in the
exciting scientific program, as well as to travel throughout this unique land. A
specially-arranged program of tours will enable you to visit archaeological and
holy sites throughout Israel, including Christian sites in the Galilee, as
well as neighboring Egypt and Jordan. A visit to the Red Sea resort of Eilat
offers remarkable coral reefs, water-sports and relaxation and a visit to
the Dead Sea (the lowest spot on earth) and Masada is a unique experience.

We look forward to welcoming you to a stimulating meeting and wish you an
enjoyable stay in Jerusalem and in Israel.

Yitzhak Apeloig Amiram Goldblum
Chairman of Program Committee Congress Chairman
