If you are an international member of ARMA or a international records
manager who plans on attending the Chicago conference, be sure to read

Travel Information for Our International Members
If you are planning to attend conference this year or travel abroad,
ARMA would like to call your attention to a new passport requirement
set forth by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
Beginning on June 26, travelers visiting from 27 "visa waiver"
countries will be required to have machine-readable passports in order
to enter the United States. These passports must contain a bar code
that can be swiped by United States Customs and Border Protection
officers "to confirm the passport holder's identity quickly and obtain
other information about the holder typically found on a passport's
inside cover."
A complete list of the visa-waiver countries is available at:
travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html
If your country is listed among the 27 visa waiver countries, please
confirm with your passport-issuing authority that you have a
machine-readable passport.
