Hi,
What about using the latex package pdfpages to copy the pages from your
PDF file `interface96.pdf` to your Sweave file. (I don't know if it is
compatible with Sweave).
Not tested :
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
%\VignetteIndexEntry{Interface '96 paper by Marron et al. (1997)}
%\VignettePackage{clps}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\title{Interface '96 paper by \cite{mar:tur:wan:96}}
\author{Berwin A Turlach}
\date{September 25, 2004}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\newpage
\includepdf{interface96.pdf}
\bibliographystyle{dcunsp}
\bibliography{clps}
\end{document}
