Room reservations. All housing requests for the official hotels at the congress should be submitted to the Congress Housing Bureau, c/o ACS, 1155—16th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. Use the official housing form shown on page 40. Deadline for receipt of all housing transactions is Nov. 9. Reservations received after the deadline cannot be processed and will be returned. Reservations will be confirmed directly to the individual by ACS, indicating the hotel assigned and a guaranteed rate. Please allow at least two weeks for processing your request. If registrants are sharing a twin or double-bedded room, use only one form listing both names. Incomplete information on the form will delay processing of your request. If the type of accommodation requested is sold out, the next closest type will be assigned according to your preference listed on the housing form. Please note at least four choices when making your selection. Every attempt will be made to honor your first choice. Because of the location of the congress, some of the normal procedures used in the past must be altered. Following are the important changes to which we must adhere: • One night's deposit must be sent to your assigned hotel 30 days prior to the arrival date or the reservation will not be held. • Deposits will be refunded only if cancellation notice is received at the hotel 72 hours prior to arrival date. • Checks and money orders must be issued in U.S. dollars and made out to your hotel. • Nov. 9 is the deadline. After this date ACS will not be in a position to assist you, and all matters concerning your hotel reservations must be made directly with the hotel. This includes changes in arrival, departure, and cancellations. • Cancellations will be handled by the hotels up to 72 hours prior to arrival date. Cancellations should be sent to the hotels, not to ACS. • If you are extending your stay beyond the time of the congress (arriving before Dec. 12, departing after Dec. 22), you must make reservations for the additional nights directly with the hotel. ACS housing applies to Dec. 12 to Dec. 22 only. Most hotels require establishment of credit at check-in. A major credit card is
acceptable. If you do not have a credit card, cash for your entire stay may be required. Condo. We had a limited number of one-bedroom condo apartments. Unfortunately, these are sold out.
Information Center. An information center, where messages can be exchanged, will be operated in the registration area, Sheraton Waikiki, mezzanine. Mail, however, should be sent to you in care of the hotel where you are staying.
Local arrangements
Ground transportation in Honolulu. Persons arriving from outside the U.S. normally go directly to Immigration & Customs, claim their luggage, and after clearing the usual inspections, leave the area near ground transportation facilities. Persons arriving from the mainland and persons who have cleared U.S. Immigration & Customs at a foreign airport may arrive at a gate some distance from the main terminal and baggage claim area. You may use a shuttle bus to an upper level of the main terminal, where you take an escalator down one level and follow signs down to the baggage claim area.
Congress Hospitality Center. A center will be hosted by the ACS Hawaii Section in the Sheraton Waikiki, Suite 426. Information on sightseeing opportunities, restaurants, and other activities in the area will be available. Personnel will be available to assist in reserving seats on scheduled tours run by numerous local operators. The hospitality center will be open on Saturday, Dec. 15, 10 AM to 4 PM, Sunday, Dec. 16, 10 AM to 4 PM, Monday, Dec. 17, through Thursday, Dec. 20,8 AM to 4 PM, and Friday, Dec. 21, 8 AM to
The area number where baggage is to be claimed is announced on flights as they arrive and is posted on TV monitors in the baggage claim area. The area is often very crowded, and the delivery locations are very numerous. Make certain that you are waiting at the correct area. Ground transportation is available at the exit from Immigration & Customs for foreign flights and at the exit from the baggage claim area for domestic flights. The fare on buses to Waikiki is $5.00, with no charge for baggage. Taxis are metered, with the fare to Waikiki about $12 plus a charge for baggage. City buses stop at each end of the terminal, one level above the baggage claim area. The fare on the bus directly to Waikiki is 60 cents, but no baggage is allowed. Speakers' Information. Each meeting room will be equipped with: 2 inch X 2 inch (35 mm) slide carousel projector, overhead (vugraph) projector, screen,

on which you are traveling. There is a $50 surcharge for stopovers other than those necessary to make connecting flights. Reservations should be made as early as possible, since these fares are very limited during the Dec. 15-30 holiday season. Ticket purchase may be made directly from United, by providing your credit card information when you make your reservations. Or you may purchase your ticket through an authorized travel agency. Reservations must be made, however, with the United convention desk by calling the toll-free number 800-521-4041, Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 8 PM EDT, and identifying the congress by the PAC CHEM number 410E. Tickets must be issued by Dec. 14. In the current competitive airfare war there may be some sporadic and shortlived discounted fares from specific cities to Honolulu. These fares have restrictions and are limited. United Airlines convention specialists will assist you in determining if your travel plans meet these specific restrictions. Visas. Persons who are not U.S. citizens must have visas to enter the U.S. Consular officials at all U.S. embassies and consulates in Pacific Basin countries are being informed about PAC CHEM '84 by being sent copies of the preliminary announcement (C&EN, July 2, page 42), the preliminary program (C&EN, Aug. 6), and the final program (Oct. 1). However, persons applying for visas should themselves submit at least the preliminary announcement and preferably also the preliminary program with their applications. Consular officials have a tremendous number of visa applications to process, and they likely will not have the information Teadily accessible that the ACS has sent separately. Everyone is urged to apply as early as practical and, if possible, no later than three months before the date of entry into the U.S. Persons who experience difficulties should immediately contact the Office of International Activities, American Chemical Society, 1155—16th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, U.S.A. ITT Telex 440159, telephone (202) 8724449. ACS cannot guarantee that every applicant will receive a visa, of course, but it will do its best to help to the fullest extent possible.
Special events The following special events have been arranged for the congress. Where tickets are required, the events have been numbered to facilitate ordering in advance or purchasing on-site. Tickets should be purchased as early as possible, either in advance using the registration form on page 43, or upon arrival in Honolulu. Tickets ordered as part of preregistration will be included with badges. The final deadline for the sale of tickets
PRE- AND POSTTOURS RESERVATIONS FORM will be 48 hours before the event, after which time only a few tickets will be available at the door of the event. All registrants may participate in all events, and several events are open to nonregistrants as well. Events and ticket prices are coded as follows: NT—spon sored, admission by badge; COD—cash bar.
