Greetings!

Here is the 1999 PRCUD Membership Directory. The hard copy is issued annually, but the electronic version maintained on the PRCUD website (http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~prcud) is updated regularly. Please send us any updates you have, including photos, address changes, or revised biographical statements.

As you might notice, this year we have made a few changes in the format of the Directory. We devoted special sections for our patron and institutional members near the front of the Directory. In addition to having specialized information, these sections have a distinctive format and appearance. They provide a full description of our patron and institutional members and identify a PRCUD contact person (who is also listed among the individual members).

The Kaohsiung Report is now ready for reviewing. The electronic version is available immediately on our website (http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~prcud). Hard copies are now being published in Singapore and in Kaohsiung and will be mailed to you soon.

The 1999 PRCUD Annual Forum will be held in Long Beach, California. The local organizing committee is leaning towards October 3^rd-6^th as the dates for the Forum. If you are aware of any significant scheduling conflicts that this might pose, please inform us right away, or contact the President of the Los Angeles Chapter, Richard Watson, directly (please refer to your brand new Directory for his address).

Eric J. Heikkila, PRCUD Executive Secretary
