Dear Colleague,

There has been several questions concerning the name and address of the 
bank we are using. This information seems to be necessary in order to 
send money by wire. This information is given below.

We prefer that you send the registration fee to the bank account that is 
mentioned in the second announcement( 4200.33.28060 ). If this is inconvenie
nt 
you could also send us a so called bank draft or equivalently an Internation
al 
money order. The name of the bank account is

              	Secretary ICRA VIII
		Department of Mathematics and Statistics
		Norwegian University of Science and Technology
		N-7055 Dragvoll
		Norway   

and the name of the bank is

		Sparebanken Midt-Norge
		Kongensgate 4
		N-7005 Trondheim
		Norway

Best regards,

    The Local Organizing Committee

(1996/4/4)

Dear Preregistered Participant,

To get better information about how many rooms and what type of rooms
we need to reserve in the different hotels and other accommodation, we

preferences of accommodation at each location, Trondheim or/and
Geiranger, using the abbriviations listed below. For example, for
Trondheim: 1. B1, 2. N1 and for Geiranger: 1. G1, 2. G2. All prices
given are in Norwegian kroner and they are all preliminary, except

January 20-th 1996.
