Re: New Marriott MI, Inc. Filing on Form 10 -- Request for Removal of
Filing Using Incorrect CIK/CCC Codes
Dear Sir or Madam:
On February 13, 1998, Marriott International, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), filed its Definitive Proxy Statement relating to a
special meeting of stockholders of the Company to be held on March 17, 1998 to
enable such stockholders to vote on the spinoff from the Company (to be renamed
"Sodexho Marriott Services, Inc.") of its subsidiary, New Marriott MI, Inc. (to
be renamed "Marriott International, Inc."), the acquisition by the Company of
the North American operations of Sodexho Alliance, S.A., a French company, and
certain related transactions. The Definitive Proxy Statement was also
incorporated in a Form 10 Registration Statement of New Marriott MI, Inc. which
was to be filed by New Marriott MI, Inc. in order to register the two classes of
its common stock to be issued and distributed to stockholders of the Company in
connection with the Transactions.
The Form 10 filing was prepared for printing at the offices of R.R.
Donnelley Financial, which acts as the Company's EDGAR filing agent. The initial
filing of the Form 10 (Accession Number 0000928385-98-000228) was inadvertently
made and accepted using the Company's CIK/CCC codes. New Marriott MI, Inc.
subsequently made a corrected filing which was accepted (Accession Number
0000928385-98-000234).
