The article is:

John Backus, Can Programming Be Liberated from the von Neumann Style?
A Functional style and Its Algebra of Programs
    CACM August 1978, Vol. 21, #8

Additional references can be found in the FP implementation distributed
with UNIX 4.2 BSD. See /usr/doc/fp for the manual. I believe that FP is
implemented in Franz Lisp on 4.2.
