31st May, 1988

BY HAND

Dear Mr Fifoot,

RAINIER INTERNATIONAL BANK

(TRANSFER OF HONG KONG UNDERTAKING) BILL 1988

I refer to our recent telephone conversation and now enclose herewith a further letter from our Hong Kong office which has been sent by fax. The third line of the second paragraph on the first page of the letter and the first line of the second paragraph on the second page are not particularly clear. In the former case, I think the line should read "drafting of the Bill so as to limit its effect. Thus the "Hong Kong...". In the latter case, I think the line should read ""Edge Act corporations are federally chartered international banking. ". However, I will check this with the Hong Kong office and will let you know if my interpretation is incorrect.

Yours sincerely,

Catherine Drew
