RE: "WASHINGTON UPDATE" - GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS NEWSLETTER
__________________________________________________________
Washington, DC is undergoing major transition this year.
The Clinton Administration and the 103rd Congress, with 112 new
House Members and 12 new Senators, have promised "change." Now,
more than ever, it is essential to keep an eye focused on the
nation's Capitol.
As part of its Government Affairs Initiative, the Institute
provides information about Congressional and Administration
activities that affect the investment management industry. To
that end, we have developed "Washington Update," a government
affairs newsletter which will increase the reporting of events to
Federal Legislation Members, the Federal Legislation Committee,
and other interested members.
Attached you will find the following:
1. The first edition of "Washington Update," the
Institute's newsletter designed to inform members
on a timely basis about the Government Affairs
agenda. The March edition is the first that you
will receive on a monthly basis.
2. A special edition of "Washington Update" with a
listing of the members who sit on the key
committees in Congress that most directly affect
the industry. We ask that you review the list and
let us know if you would be willing to contact any
of these members on behalf of the industry if it
becomes necessary.

3. Copies of all 1993 memos sent to the Institute's
Federal Legislation Committee.
4. A binder designed to house these and future
materials. This binder contains two sections: one
for "Washington Update," and one for Federal
Legislation Committee memos.
We hope that these items will prove useful to you and
assist in the Institute's ongoing efforts to provide helpful and
informative services. If you wish further information, please
contact the Legislative Affairs Department at (202) 955-3544.
This memo can also be found on FUNDS, the Institute's Fund
User Network and Delivery System, under "Legislative Affairs;
Washington Update."
