RE: INSTITUTE CONFERENCE ON RULE 12b-1--REMINDER
__________________________________________________________
As we previously informed you, in anticipation of the
NASD's adoption of a rule governing investment company
distribution payments, the Institute is sponsoring a special one-
day conference on the new NASD rule. The conference will be held
on Tuesday, September 11 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington,
D.C., beginning at 8:50 a.m.
The conference will consist of three panels which will
cover the following broad topics: Background and Structure of
the NASD Rule, Application of the Rule to Spread-Load Plans and
Application of the Rule to Non-Spread Load Plans. Ample time
will be allotted to questions and answers. A preliminary
conference program listing our panelists is enclosed.
If you have not done so already, please complete the
enclosed registration form and return it to the Institute as soon
as possible. Please note that attendance at the conference is
limited to Institute members and other organizations maintaining
a business relationship with an Institute member, such as outside
counsel and accountants.
A block of rooms has been reserved at the Mayflower Hotel
for conference attendees. The address of the hotel is 1127
Connecticut Avenue, N.W. (corner of Connecticut and L Street) and
the telephone number is 202/347-3000. Please make your own hotel
reservations if you need a hotel room. When you phone for
reservations, please be sure to mention that you are attending
the Investment Company Institute's conference.
We look forward to seeing you on September 11.
Frances M. Stadler
Assistant General Counsel
