<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=5>If you should need further information, contact
myself, or my assistant, Saul Schwartz (614 519 6964). For those, who plan
on a presentation, you may begin to let me know the title for scheduling a
time slot. Generally, 20 minutes is allowed for any presentation followed
by an additional 10 minutes for questions and commentary. Of course, this
typical schedule may be adjusted as needed, if informed ahead of
time. </FONT></DIV>

are located 21 miles distant in the town of Hiawatha, KS, southwest of the
conference site. Also, audio and visual aide equipment will need to be
arranged and furnished by the presenters.</FONT></DIV>
