LOUISVILLE, Ky.--The Office of the General Assembly (OGA) and the General 
Assembly Council's Office of Communication (OC) have announced their plans 
for the two traditional post-General Assembly summary publications -- 
"Assembly in Brief" and the wrap-up edition of "The General Assembly News." 
 
                     "1996 Assembly in Brief" 
 
     "Assembly in Brief," a 12-page bulletin-insert-size summary of the 
June 29-July 6 General Assembly meeting in Albuquerque, N.M., is a joint 
publication of OGA and the Presbyterian News Service (PNS). 
 
     This year it will be designed and written by the Rev. Vicki Fogel 
Mykles, former director of communications for the Synod of the Rocky 
Mountains, and edited by the Rev. Jerry Van Marter, PNS coordinator. 
 
     To be mailed the week after the Assembly adjourns, "Assembly in Brief" 
costs $7 per 100 copies. 
 
          Wrap-up edition of "The General Assembly News" 
 
     The wrap-up edition of "The General Assembly News," a 12-page 
newspaper, is produced by the OGA's General Assembly Newsroom staff.  The 
manager of the Newsroom in Albuquerque will be Jane Mead, former director 
of communications for the Synod of the Northeast. 
 
     Reporters on the Newsroom staff include Van Marter; Alexa Smith and 
Julian Shipp of the PNS; John Sniffen, director of communications for the 
Synod of the Mid-Atlantic; the Rev. William Lancaster, director of 
communications for Foothills Presbytery in South Carolina; Jane Hines,

communications for Presbyterian Mariners; and the Rev. Rob McClure, 
director of communications for the Synod of Alaska-Northwest.  Staff

     The wrap-up edition of "The General Assembly News" will also be
