new-We are experimenting with online registrations and providing all
information via the web.  Please note that this is an abbreviated
announcement.  The website will provide full details of the meeting,
including Main Conference Preliminary Program, Tutorial and Workshop

We hope you will join us in Philadelphia for our 40th anniversary.  We
have a wonderful program planned. And, the ACL Executive Committee has
instituted a Lifetime Achievement Award, the first of which will be
