I don't think the ANSI committee (X3J16) has an official draft yet,
but the closest thing to it is the AT&T C++ Release 2.1 Reference
Manual.  It is available from AT&T (dial 1-800-828-UNIX) as Select Code
307-159.  Alternatively you could get "The Annotated C++ Reference
Manual," by M. A. Ellis and B. Stroustrup, published by Addison-
Wesley.  It contains the entire text of the reference manual (with only
slight editorial changes) along with about an equal amount of
explanation and commentary.  The annotation part is in a special
font, so you can tell what's Reference Manual and what isn't.

I assume future drafts will be available from X3. When such a draft
exists and is available, you'll read about it here!

I don't feel free to post a list of the members of the committee (:-)>),
but I am AT&T's principal representative and expect to be the editor of
the Standard.
