Don't Delay -- Apply for your passport today!

The U.S. Passport Services Office is experiencing serious delays in 
processing the large number of applications they have received since 
the U.S. instituted new passport regulations earlier this 
year.  Processing time for passports is currently 8-12 weeks or 
longer; for expedited service, it can take up to 2 months.  If you do 
not yet have a passport, or need to renew your passport, and are 
planning on studying abroad in the fall or spring of 2007-08, I urge 
you to submit your application immediately, and pay the extra fee for 
expedited service (especially if studying abroad in the fall).

For information on applying for a passport and estimated processing 
times, please go to 
http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html.  See also 
today's New York Times article on the situation
