Dear Mr. Smith:

Thank you for your prompt and courteous response to our letter of October 4, 1991, addressed to the attention of Mr. Elmore.

Enclosed for your files is page 10 of the Stock Purchase Agreement. We also stand corrected, as you advised, that it is the position of the Pre-Merger Notification Office that the proposed transaction is exempt as a transfer from a Federal agency within the exemption of Section 7A(c)(4) of the Act, and that this position is not binding upon the Commission.

Again, our thanks for your assistance and advice.

Very truly yours,

(redacted)

Encl.

Cc:Mr. John Sipple, Jr., FTC
