Dr. Lay (in care of - Rosalee Fleming):

We are very pleased to have you participate in our "Markets in
Transition" symposium on January 10, 2001.  I will be sending additional
information to you, but I wanted to give you some "advance warning" on a
couple items.

We will be putting together a symposium brochure in December.  As part
of that, we would like to get a biography of you (about 200-250 words in
length), and a photograph.  We will need this by around the first of
December, so I wanted to give you a little advance notice.

I will contact you after Thanksgiving to provide more details around
this event.  If you have any questions in the meanwhile, feel free to
contact me.
