    Hotel Information: Full information will be posted in
fall 1998 in the Linguist List. We have made definite
arrangements with the David William Hotel and The Biltmore
Hotel (in Coral Gables). Conference participants
can stay at the David William Hotel at a negotiated rate of
$99/night and will have all privileges at The Biltmore
Hotel (a luxury hotel in a historic building) because both
hotels are under the same management and coorporation now.
The Biltmore is only about four or five blocks away and you
can walk or take the hotel shuttle there. The conference
will be held at The Biltmore and at Florida International
University.

    If you wish to make early reservations, call the David
William Hotel at 305-445-7821 and mention that it is for
FIU's "Spanish in the U.S." Conference March 11-13, 1999 at
the agreed upon rate. Space is limited.

    Note: Queries will be answered as soon as possible
after August 16, 1998 and a conference registration form
will be posted soon and can also be mailed to you as early
as fall 1998 at the start of the new academic year.
