REGISTRATION FEE
================
Registration fee covers attendance in all sessions, a copy of the
proceedings, lunches, refreshments, receptions, and the conference banquet.
		
		    through June 10 	  from June 11
Regular		    NLG 475 ($ 270) 	NLG 610 ($ 350)
Member/Author	    NLG 375 ($ 215)     NLG 480 ($ 275)
Student     	    NLG 200 ($ 115)     NLG 245 ($ 140)
Companion           NLG 150 ($ 85)      NLG 175 ($ 100)

The reduced member/author rate applies to authors of accepted papers, 
members of a sponsoring organization, members of institutional sponsors,
and members of the organizing and program committees.
The student rate applies to full time students, including PhD students and 
Dutch AIO's and OIO's.  Full participation and privileges are extended to 
registrants paying reduced rates.  The companion rate covers the social events 
only (two receptions and banquet).

The LICS organizers have limited funds available for support of attendees
unable to obtain travel grants. Persons desiring such subsidy should contact 
the Conference Secretariat, indicating their circumstances and the amount of 
subsidy desired.

ACCOMMODATIONS
==============
The Conference Secretariat will collect requests for hotel reservations, 
which will be handled by the Netherlands Reservation Center.
Rooms are available in three categories,
as follows (all prices are per night, in Dutch Guilders):

Category        Single Room               Double Room 
  A          130-200 ($ 75-115)        150-250 ($ 85-145)
  B           90-120 ($ 52-69)         100-150 ($ 57-86) 
  C           60-90  ($ 35-52)          80-120 ($ 46-69)

Sharing a double room is the registrant's responsibility: no matching
service will be provided.  Reservation will be made and confirmation sent
only upon receipt of a deposit of NLG 200 ($ 115).  Reservation requests
received after June 1 will be accepted but cannot be guaranteed.  Please
mention special hotel reservation wishes, such as location in city center
or babysitting service, on your reservation form.  No campus accommodations 
will be available. Amsterdam's public transportation network (tram, bus, 
train, subway) is dense and efficient, allowing easy access to the conference 
location and events from most city areas.  The conference organizers will 
attempt to provide transportation when appropriate.

PAYMENTS
========
All payments, net of all charges, are preferred in Dutch Guilders (NLG) 
and can be made by either 
	*   banker's draft (bank check), made payable to  
	    Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, and mailed to the 
	    LICS'91 secretariat; or 
	*   money transfer to account # 43.60.53.705 of Stichting 
	    Mathematisch Centrum at the AMRO Bank Amsterdam,
	    or to postal giro 462890 of Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, 
	    Amsterdam. (Make sure that "LICS'91" and your name are mentioned!).
Personal and company checks cannot be accepted.  Payments in U.S. dollars 
will be accepted, but transfer costs (plus a rate adjustment if the US$ 
drops significantly against the NLG) will be withheld from the hotel deposit.
