THE MASS TRANSIT PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY HAS PUBLISHED THE LIST OF FIRMS PRE-QUALIFYING FOR THE FIRST FIVE INTERNATIONAL CIVIL ENGINEERING CONTRACTS. THIS WILL FOLLOW BY BAG. THERE ARE TWO FRENCH, SIX ITALIAN, ONE GERMAN AND NINE JAPANESE. IN ITS STATEMENT THE PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY SAID THAT INCLUSION IN THE LIST DID NOT IMPLY THAT ANY COMPANY OR GROUP CONCERNED WOULD AUTOMATICALLY BE INVITED TO TENDER AND THAT NOT MORE THAN NINE COMPANIES WOULD BE ASKED TO TENDER FOR ANY ONE CONTRACT.
&
2. I AM SEEING THOMPSON AGAIN TOMORROW. HE MADE THE POINT TO LORD NELSON, CHAIRMAN OF GEC, WHO HAS BEEN' HERE ON A VISIT, THAT IF WE WERE NOT GOING TO TENDER FOR THE CIVIL ENGINEERING CONTRACTS, WE COULD HARDLY EXPECT TO PICK UP ALL THE E AND M. I GATHER THE FRENCH ARE TAKING THE LINE THAT IF THEY ARE TO PROVIDE CREDIT ON THE CIVIL SIDE, THEY WILL EXPECT SOMETHING ON THE E AND M SIDE IN RETURN. I WILL EXPLORE THIS FURTHER WITH THOMPSON WHEN I SEE HIM,
