Response/Comments
9/2/99 Proposal in 9/1/99 letter discussed by MB, MV and RBS. Agreed to make repurchase of C by A non-reportable since we had already reviewed As purchase of B (which included C)and D's proposed purchase of B (which includes C). Since A repurchasing C will happen immediately upon D's purchase of B, we agreed based on all these facts that A will not need to file for repurchase of C. MB said decision based on adequate explanation of whydeal was structured this way. The 9/2 letter provides the reason (Basis for call is continuum theory with a reasonable extension for present facts.) R.B. Smith- also see File # 9909001

Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.


Very truly yours,
