VITAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE WORKSHOP

WHERE: The workshop will be held on the campus of the Weizmann Institute
       Rehovot, Israel.  Rehovot is located about 10 miles from the 
       Ben-Gurion International Airport,
       about 15 miles from Tel-Aviv and 35 miles from Jerusalem.

WHEN: Sunday to Tuesday, Dec 20th-22nd, 1998.
      The sessions will start on Sunday morning (around 9:30AM)
      and end on Tuesday early afternoon.

TALKS: The talks will be held in the lecture hall of the Mathematical 
       Sciences Faculty, Ziskind Building, in Room no. 1 (the building 
       also says Belfer Center)      

ACCOMMODATIONS: Your room will be at the San Martin guest house.
       The charge is $50 a night (for a single room).
       We also offer to help you with hotel reservations
       in Tel-Aviv or Jerusalem for the time beyond the workshop.

LUNCH: Will be held on campus at the nearby dining facility called 
       "Charlie's Place."


ARRIVAL TO THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE: The best method is to take a taxi 
       from the Airport - 
       As soon as you pass customs, when you exit the building,        
       straight ahead (and a bit to the right) is an airport taxi 
       station. Ask for a taxi to The Weizmann Institute, in Rehovot.    
       If you arrive to the Institute during working hours (until       
       4:00p.m.) ask the taxi to take you to the San Martin Guest        
       House where on the first floor (1 flight up) awaits your       
       key at the reception desk. If you should arrive to the             
       Institute after 4:00PM your key, along with instructions on      
       how to arrive to your room, will await you at the main gate.       
       Hold the taxi while you inquire at the gate, for you will            
       need him to drive you to the San Martin Guest House.
