SUBJECT:

Settlement of Antitrust Suit - Airlines and Commuter Carriers

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED TO THE
PERSON(S) RESPONSIBLE FOR TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS.

On May 10, 1995, the United States District Court for the District of
Columbia granted final approval to the settlement of an antitrust suit
filed by a group of state Attorneys General against a group of airlines
and commuter carriers. The University of California qualifies as an
"Eligible Governmental Entity" under the settlement and may take advantage
of a 10% discount off the purchase of any published domestic airfare in
excess of $50.00 for official university travel beginning August 8, 1995
and continuing through February 9, 1997 or until the $40 million
settlement is reached, whichever occurs first.

Discount fare tickets for domestic air passenger transportation will be
issued upon presentation of appropriate evidence of eligibility (applies
to all fund sources). Any of the following will constitute appropriate
verification that travel is being conducted for the purpose of official
business on behalf of an Eligible Governmental Entity (based on the
official notification received by the Office of the President from the
State of California Department of Justice).

I.  Purchase of a discount fare ticket with an authorized Eligible
  Entity Governmental Entity charge card;

  *For UCSD, the "charge card" can be either your UCSD Diner's Club
  Card or the direct billing of your tickets to UCSD (which is done
  automatically via a corporate Diners account for any of the San
  Diego based travel agencies that you have formally done business
  with).

II.  Authorizing letter, on Eligible Governmental Entity letterhead,
  stating that the traveler is conducting official government
  business. The letter must include the traveler's name, dates of
  travel, and basic itinerary together with an authorizing signature.

  *For UCSD, official departmental "letterhead" stationary with the
  signature that approves travel for the department along with the
  requested information is appropriate.

III.  Executed Eligible Governmental Entity travel request form and
   payment or executed travel authorization form with official Eligible
   Governmental Entity warrant or approvals; or

   *For UCSD, a copy of the completed and authorized Travel
   Notification and Request for Travel Advance is appropriate. However,
   this option should be used only if options I. and II. are
   unavailable (please contact the Travel Office contacts referenced in
   this notice for guidance before using this option).

IV.  Eligible Governmental Entity purchase order for domestic air
   passenger transportation services.

   *For UCSD, not used.

At the time the ticket is purchased, the travel agent must be told that
the purchase is part of program code "MULTISTATE" and that the "CRS CODE"
is MS10.
