Subject:ALS Alexandria Program

Below I am posting the tentative program for the Arabic Linguistics  
Society Meetings which are to be held in Alexandria, Egypt on May 9-10,  
2003.

We have every intention of holding this conference.  However, as all of  
you are aware, we do not control world events, and there is a  
possibility that travel restrictions will make it impossible to hold it  
in its current form.  We therefore ask for your patience.  Understand  
that if there is any way we can hold it, we will, but there is the  
possibility that it may have to be cancelled or postponed, if the world  
situation requires it.  We will keep you informed by e-mail of our  
decisions in this regard.

It is important, however, for us to know your intentions, particularly  
if you are on the program.  I would therefore ask any participants  
listed here to e-mail me whether or not you are currently planning on  
attending the conference.  A couple of weeks before the conference I  
will send out a request for another e-mail confirmation of your  
attendance.  This will allow us to adjust the program without having  
large holes for no-shows.  Because of this, if you do not respond with  
your confirmation, we will have to delete you from the program.  Moral:  
keep in touch!

I apologize for the lower case nature of all the titles, but I didn't  
want to retype them, and it is the only way I was able to import them  
from the original program they were prepared on.  Travel and  
accomodations information will be sent in a few days, hopefully.  Here  
is the program:
