       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).

        Please have the incorrect filing (Accession Number 0000928385-98-000228)
removed from the EDGAR filing system.

        Please advise me (202/383-5110) or my colleague Alyssa Grikscheit 
(212/326-2290) if any further action is required on our part. We would 
appreciate your notifying us by telephone (or by fax at 202/383-5414) when the 
requested deletion has been made.


                                Sincerely,

                                /s/ David G. Pommerening
