I think this is the content of your original mail:

-------------------------
Hello ,
is there a paper with crypto details explaining why NIST chose Rijndael
over MARS (from IBM), RC6 (from RSA Laboratories), Serpent (from Ross
Anderson, Eli Biham and Lars Knudsen) and Twofish (from Bruce Schneier,
John Kelsey, Doug Whiting, David Wagner, Chris Hall and Niels Ferguson)
as the AES ?

If this is not asking about NIST's rationale, I no longer understand the
language you appear to be using :-)
