RE BY Action Tan

CLE

1. OUR TELECON YESTERDAY. STONES HAS NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO

STUDY THE LYTAG OFFER IN ANY DETAIL. I SHALL KEEP AN EYE ON THIS BUT DO NOT WANT TO DISTRACT HIM FROM THE NEGOTIATIONS

WITH BALFOUR BEATTY.

2. CLP HOPE TO HAVE SPECIFICATIONS READY FOR HAMMER HILL

SWITCHGEAR TENDERS TO BE ISSUED IN ABOUT ONE WEEK. INVITATIONS

WILL BE SENT ONLY TO CLP'S PRESENT SUPPLIERS OF SF6 SWITCHGEAR

WHO STONES IDENTIFIED AS: BROWN BOVERI, SIEMENS, HITACHI AND MITSUBISHI.

3. STONES SAID HE IS KEEPING DOOR OPEN FOR BRITISH MANUFACTURERS

TO COMPETE FOR SUBSEQUENT SUB-STATIONS. I UNDERSTAND THAT NEI

REYROLLE ARE IN TOUCH WITH HIM AND THAT LEGG AND LIGHTLE PLAN TO HAVE DISCUSSIONS WITH CLP NEXT WEEK DURING THE CEPSI CONFERENCE.

4. STONES ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY DIFFICULTIES

HAVING ARISEN DURING THE CURRENT TALKS WITH BALFOUR BEATTY.
