<DIV>Where are the legal advisors to the AAA? What do they suggest? Perhaps there is a loophole in the agreement between the hotel and the AAA that would allow the AAA to cancel and not pay such a penalty. I am also wondering what would happen if the AAA did not officially cancel but no one showed up? Perhaps the AAA could explain to the hotel management that participants voted to not cross the picket line and, thus, were acting on their own accord. Such might get more publicity if the membership of an organization takes such drastic action on their own. In any case, it is a very tricky situation and I hope AAA gets good legal counsel before making any decisions.</DIV>
