          Re:  New Marriott MI, Inc. Filing on Form 8-A -- Request for
               Withdrawal of Filing

Dear Sir or Madam:

          On March 16, 1998, New Marriott MI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), filed a Form 8-A Registration Statement pursuant to Section 12(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with the listing of the
Company's stock on three exchanges in addition to the New York Stock Exchange.
On February 13, 1998, the Company filed a Form 10 Registration Statement in
connection with listing its stock on the New York Stock Exchange, which
Registration Statement is effective.

          The Commission has asked the Company to withdraw the Form 8-A
Registration Statement filed on March 16 and to replace it with three separate
Form 8-A Registration Statements, one for each additional stock exchange.

          Accordingly, please have the Form 8-A Registration Statement
(Accession Number 0000928385-98-000471) 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
