Thurs May 15, Main working day for Statement on Violence. Final draft
adopted.

Fri May 16. Final day. Return to Seville. Meetings with University
Rector, press, etc. Departure for all except those who intend
to stay for Fiesta in Seville.

Our thanks to Martin Ramirez who has been working hard to arrange this
schedule, including University financial support for our stay at their
conference center on the beach. We are seeking other financial support,
but so for it is not definite. Therefore, at the present time, each
participant is responsible to pay for the hotel accomodations that Martin
has reserved at the Hotel Murillo for May 11, 12, and 13 (and also a few
rooms for May 10). If it is possible, please indicate to me or Martin if
you are willing to share a double room. Participants should also be prepared
to pay for meals on May 12 and 13. We recognize that some of you must receive
financial support in order to take part, and we are working hard to obtain it.

Please note the changes from the original dates. It turns out that May 17 and 18
is a grand fiesta with over one million people coming to the little city of
Seville. Obviously, everyone is invited to make arrangements to stay for the
Fiesta, but it is also obvious that we would not be able to accomplish our
important tasks on those days. I have already checked with most of you about
the change in dates and am pleased to report that we can expect everyone to come
for at least part of our work, Some of you who cannot come for May 12-16 should
plan to come for May 10-13 instead, which is a good alternative, since work on
the preliminary draft will be very important.

I have received a few of the one-page statements from you and will circulate
them in a separate mailing. These will help us prepare the preliminary draft.

Next step: we plan to assemble and circulate to everyone a scientific appendix
for our work. Please send to me by March l:

l) a brief publication (article, book chapter, etc) or unpublished work
(speech, lecture, draft, etc.) by yourself that bears directly on our
topic, emphasizing empirical data.

2)} brief publication or unpublished work by someone else whose work
you consider to be critical for our topic, again emphasizing empirical
data.

In this way, we will put together a scientific appendix to our work in Seville,
basing it on at least three items from each participant: l) your own previous
writing; 2) the written piece by the other person that you submit; and 3)
the presentation that you will make at the Coloquio in May. This scientific
appendix will be the background for the Statement on Violence.

Please send the title for your Coloquio presentation directly to Martin Ramirez
along with your registration form, if you have not already done so.
Martin‘s address is: Dept. of Psychobiology, Univ. of Seville, Apartado de
Correos 3128. Seville, Spain, 4100].
