THANK YOU FOR GETTING PRELIMINARY VIEWS OF CLP ON 132 KV

EQUIPMENT. WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS MATTER WITH BALFOUR BEATTY,

CE GB AND LAZARDS. REGRET WE ARE UNABLE TO AGREE OPTIONAL EXTRAS

IN THE TRANSMISSION LINE PACKAGE. PLEASE CONVEY THIS TO STONES

DURING THE ROUND-UP DISCUSSION. I WILL BE TELEXING YOU ON MONDAY

IN GREATER DETAIL ON OUR POSITION. FOR YOU ALONE, REPEAT FOR YOU ALONE, OUR WORRIES ARE CLP GETTING BEHIND PACKAGE PRICE AND EXTENT OF OUR REMIT AND LIABILITY IF CLP ISSUE FOREIGN SWITCHGEAR
