S. scholars to partially defray their airfare costs incurred as part of participating in the XVI International Congress of Linguistics (20-25 July 1997) in Paris, France. The twelve will receive the funds after they have returned from the Congress and have submitted a report of the meeting's relevance to them and proof of travel by a U.S. air carrier.
