Speciul Congress issue The Journal will publish a special Congress issue in January just preceding the 21 st Annual AORN Congress from February 10 to 15 in New Orleans.

This special issue, which will be a supplement to the regular January Journal, will include all the regular Congress news which has appeared in the Journal as well as special features.

For the first time in one issue, AORN members will have the Congress program, speakers' profiles, candidates' biographies, delegate information, news about special events, exhibit descriptions, what to wear-in sum, all the information Congress- bound members want and need.

In addition, there will be special features about New Orleans-things to do and where to go in this fascinating historic city famous for its French Quarter, creole cooking, the Mardi Gras, and iazz.
