     Out of town participants will be housed, as requested, at the Royal Sonesta
Hotel.  The NBER will cover the cost of your room and tax for one or two nights
depending on your point of origin.  If you wish to stay additional nights the rate is
$172.00 per night, single or double occupancy, plus 12.45% tax.  The NBER will also
cover travel expenses in accordance with the enclosed travel regulations.  Please read
these regulations carefully because there are limitations to what the Bureau can
reimburse.

     Out-of-town participants are urged to book their flights as soon as possible in

able to pay for deeply discounted air fares.  Travel expense forms will be available at
the meeting.
