  1. Due to the high quality and quantity of the papers submitted to 
     the conference and a number of invited lectures as well as 
     a variety of other events scheduled for the conference we have
     decided to add a fourth day to the conference. 
     The new dates are January 20-23, 1997.



  2. By popular demand we are adding a new feature to the conference.

  3. The RECOMB Conference needs Sites for 1998, 1999, and 2000.
     As reserving hotels in some locations requires arrangements
     made one or two years in advance, we are soliciting proposals
     now for the next sites.
     
     Please send us email with proposals for locations for the 
     next RECOMB both in US as well as outside US. At the RECOMB 97
     business meeting we will discuss these matters in detail.


   


  We hope to see you all at RECOMB 97 in Santa Fe.
