FROM:           EVERETT O. RIGSBEE, EXEC. SECRETARY, IEEE 802

SUBJECT:        MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT, July 8-12, 1996

The July plenary meeting site for IEEE 802 will be at:

University of Twente
Enschede, The Netherlands

during the week of July 8-12, 1996.  Please make your room
reservations directly with the University of Twente, using the
Hotel Reservation Request Form attached. Please read the form
carefully, particularly the reservation cut-off date and
cancellation policies.  Because the University will make your
reservations with the hotel of your choice, please be very
explicit about your accommodation requirements.  Attached to
this meeting announcement are two Hotel Summary Sheets outlining
details of the hotels available.  If you have questions
regarding the hotels you may call Marloes Castaneda at the
number indicated on the Hotel Reservation Form.  Please bear in
mind that the University is acting as our booking agent at no
charge to the group.  As this is an international meeting, and
all reservations are being directed through the University,
please book as early as possible to ensure accommodation.  If
you have made, or plan to make, your hotel reservation directly
with the hotel and not through the University, you should be
aware that neither the University nor the IEEE 802/CCI cannot be
responsible for your reservation.

Cut-off date for all IEEE 802 room reservations is Friday, May
31, 1996.  Please note: Reservation requests received after this
date will be accepted on a space available basis and will honor
the 802 conference rates.

DEADLINE FOR ALL ROOM RESERVATIONS IS MAY 31, 1996
