(d) Despite these, all is not as bleak as it might
appear. While picking up the pieces will obviously be harder for Hong Kong than for most other financial centres, there is understanding that Hong Kong is resiliant and changeable and its ability to rebound from adversity is well documented. For example, Ms. Verna Borisenko, Vice President of the Union Bank headquartered at Los Angeles thought that overall, people would regard the closure of the Hong Kong market as an isolated incidence and that it would not have excessive long lasting ill effect on Hong Kong's role as a financial centre?

What is now important is to publicize the stabilizing of the Hong Kong market and its new management,

One best way to do this is for special speaking engagements or briefing session to be arranged for Messrs. Fell, Nendick and Jacobs in US including, in particular, San Francisco and Los Angeles on the West Coast. The PR consultants could help targetting the right audience in this endeavour,
