          I have just been informed that the Defense Mapping Agency is
          now NATIONAL IMAGERY AND MAPPING AGENCY.
 
          (Notice to Mariners no.40 1996 5 October: "Published weekly
          by the Defense Mapping Agency"
 
          Notice to Mariners no.41 1996 12 October: "Published weekly
          by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency")
 
          Must be true, eh?  Hope the University of California at
          Santa Barbara Map & Imagery Laboratory doesn't mind.

          Johnnie:  Please afix this to my previous message about the
          DMA name change. Here is what is said in Notice to Mariners
          no.41:
 
          "Effective October 01, 1996 the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA)
          joins the Department of Defense's newest combat support
          agency, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA),
          which was created unde the authority of the Fiscal Year 1997
          Defense Authorization Bill.
 
          NIMA consolidates imagery and geospatial resources and
          management into a single, streamlined DoD agency to provide
          timely, relevant, and accurate imagery, imagery
          intelligence, and geospatial information in support of
          national security objectives.
 
          All products, services and points of contact provided by DMA
          will remain the same under NIMA."
