Remember that on leaving the country a tax has to be paid.
Suggestions

(date, flight number and time of arrival) and they will send a car to take you
safely to the hotel.
2. Send an e-mail to Mr. Andrew Downes (our recommended travel agency
Caminos) at adownes@caminosturismo.com.ar
or ats@caminosturismo.com.ar
(subject of email: 'transfer airport-hotel (XIIIth Congress)') the same
information and they will send a person with a chart with your name printed
when
you come out from the Customs and will drive you safely to the hotel.
BOTH OPTIONS ARE RELIABLE AND THE COST WILL BE APROX. USD 18.- (it depends on
the exchange rate)
In case you want to share a bus with other people you can contact the transfer
company MANUEL TIENDA LEON in a stand at the airport (the cost is approx. USD
5.-) and they will take you downtown by bus (they offer a 24hours-service) and
they will leave you at their headquarters in the city. From
there you should take a radio taxi to the Hotel (more or less 10 minutes and
the cost should be aprox. USD 1.-). If you want to contact Tienda León their
e-mail is: traslado_hoteles@tiendaleon.com.ar.
Once you are living in Buenos Aires, we suggest you always to take a radio taxi

Minutes of the
Meeting of the General Assembly 1998
I would like to
add a number of points related to the agenda. First of all, the meeting starts
with the report of the treasurer and the applications for membership because
these may affect the number of delegates with a right to vote at the General
Assembly (see also the attached report of the treasurer). The next item on the
agenda is the proposal for new statutes, because we would like to conduct the
rest of the agenda under the new rules. However, if the new statutes are not
approved by the General Assembly, we can continue with the agenda as none of
the proposals to be discussed are inconsistent with the old statutes.
Ad 3. Three
associations have applied for membership: the Chinese Economic History Society, the Indian Economic and Social History
Association, and the Economic and Social History Foundation of Turkey (their
applications are enclosed). The Executive Committee recommends that all three
associations will be accepted as members of the IEHA. I have more detailed information about
these organizations available for those delegates who wish to know more.
Ad 4. The
proposal for new statutes that resulted from the recommendations of the Reform
Commission and the discussions by the Executive Committee is enclosed. For your
convenience the proposal includes the text of the old statutes. Besides, a
short report on the work of the Reform Commission by Richard Sutch is enclosed.
A French translation of the proposed new statutes will be available at the
General Assembly.The secretary-general has received two sets of amendments to
the new statutes, one by the Economic History Society, and one by the
Association Française des Historiens Economistes - both are enclosed. At the
General Assembly the Executive Committee will present its view on the suggested
amendments. A two-third majority is needed for changes in the statutes.
Ad 5. According
to the new statutes (and the rules suggested by the Reform Commission) the
Executive Committee has organized an open procedure for the election of new
members of the Executive Committee. The following members (elected in 1998)
wish to stand for a second term:
-
Osamu Saito,
Hitotsubashi University (Japan)
-
Patrick Fridenson, EHESS-Centre de Recherches Historiques (France)
-
Sevket Pamuk, Bogazici University (Turkey)

Furthermore, the Executive Committee endorses the following
nominations for new members (nominations that were made by the member
associations):

Scott Eddie)
- Gianni Toniolo, Universita di Roma 'Tor Vergata', Italy, and Duke University, USA (successor to Jaime Reis)

- Secretary-general: Jan
Luiten van Zanden (second term)
- Vice-president: Riitta Hjerppe (see ad 5)
-
President: Richard Sutch
Please note that
the Economic History Society and the Cliometric Society have reinstated Jeff
Williamson as a nominee for the presidency. This means that there are two
candidates for the presidency, and that the General Assembly has to make a
decision. Curriculi vitae of all nominees for membership of the Executive
Committee and the two candidates for the Presidency are enclosed.
Ad 6. The
Executive Committee has organized an open bidding procedure for selecting the
venue of the 2006 Congress. Three cities/national associations have
participated in it: Strasbourg, Sydney, and Helsinki. At its meeting in 2001
the Executive Committee decided to select Helsinki. Prof. Riitta Hjerppe will
be the organizer of the Congress, who (under the new statutes) will also be the
vice-president for the 2002-2006 term.
Ad 7. The relevant documents will be handed out at the General
Assembly.
Ad 8. The report of the Secretary General is enclosed.
If you have any questions relating to the agenda or the documents
enclosed in this letter, please let me know via email: ieha@let.uu.nl.
