>costs nothing.

The DECUServe Executive Committee has asked me to provide the following
additional information about the above:

1) No-Fee DECUServe still requires the approval of the DECUS Board of
   Directors.  This approval is not expected before 1 July 1991.  Until
   No-Fee DECUServe is approved, subscriptions remain $65/year.

2) For information about DECUServe, please call 800 521-8950 and log
   in under the INFORMATION account.

In addition to the annual fee, DECUServe subscribers pay their own
telecommunications costs from their calling location to DECUServe.
