               Spring 2001 Depository Library Council Meeting
                      to Convene in San Antonio, Texas

 The Alamo, Spanish Colonial Missions, Cowboy Museum, Market Square and
 the world famous River Walk are all in San Antonio, Texas. That elegance
 and history makes San Antonio an excellent setting for the spring
 Depository Library Council meeting, which will convene on April 1 through
 April 4, 2001, at the Adam's Mark San Antonio Riverwalk Hotel, 111 Pecan
 Street East, San Antonio, Texas 78205. The meeting was originally
 scheduled for the Four Points Hotel Riverwalk North, but due to a very
 large group coming in, we agreed to relocate our meeting to insure the
 comfort of our attendees. If you have made reservations at the Four
 Points, they will be transferred to the Adam's Mark. We apologize for the
 delay in notifying you and advertising the meeting, but we wanted all
 aspects of the relocation worked out before we announced the change. We
 are sure you will enjoy the new host hotel and we look forward to seeing
 you there.

 For two years in a row, the Adam's Mark San Antonio Riverwalk has won the
 AAA 4-Diamond Award and the initial Stars of the South award for
 excellence in quality of meeting space, guestrooms, service, food and
 beverage, amenities, ambiance and value. Therefore, we believe the change
 will provide superb facilities for our meeting and a rewarding experience
 for you.

 A limited number of rooms are available at $91 (plus tax) per night
 single and $115 (plus tax) per night double, triple or quad. This rate
 will be honored through March 5, 2001. You can make reservations by
 calling the hotel directly at 210-354-2800 and mention the U.S.
 Government Printing Office. You may use the same number to verify that
 your previous reservations at the Four Points Hotel were transferred.

 If you attended the 2000 Federal Depository Conference and fall Council
 meeting in Rosslyn, you discovered that the sessions provided are
 educational events. If you didn't attend, you really need to include this
 meeting on your calendar. Otherwise, you will miss the opportunity to
 keep up-to-date with the Federal Depository Library Program activities,
 provide your input into the planning process and to exchange ideas among
 your colleagues. It doesn't matter if you are a beginning depository
 librarian, technician or experienced staff--everyone will benefit from
 attending.

 vehicles. The rates range from $32.99 daily or $148.99 weekly for a
 subcompact, to $76.99 daily or $333.99 weekly for a luxury car. Should a

 on that rate. Weekend rates (Thursday, 12 noon-Monday, 11:59 p.m.) are
