In recent years in particular the importance of Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) has been stressed and especially the capabilities and possibilities of reading and deciphering diplomatic, military, commercial and other Communications of other nations. This growing awareness of the importance of intelligence applies not only to the activities of the big services but also to those of the smaller nations like for example the Netherlands. For this exact reason a couple of years ago the Netherlands Intelligence Studies Association (NISA) was established in which academics and (former and still active) members of the Netherlands intelligence community work together in order to promote research into the history of Dutch intelligence communities. This growing interest had led in Holland to publications dealing with the history of the Dutch internal security service (1995), the Dutch Navy Intelligence (1997) and the Netherlands foreign intelligence service (November 1998). As honorary secretary of the NISA it is my pleasure to announce that the NISA will host an international conference dealing with THE IMPORTANCE OF SIGINT IN WESTERN EUROPE IN THE COLD WAR This conference with a particular emphasis on Sigint and the Northwestern European nations will take place on Saturday November 27 in Amsterdam.
