On the recordAugust 4, 1998
Let me just point out, we understand fully the ownership of INA in Japan. That is not the question. The question is in the activities of the Yasuda Insurance Company in Japan and what they are doing to affect the market of the third sector insurance market in Japan. As far as the investigations, we are very pleased that the Trade Representative is conducting a full interagency review. However, we would hope that the Trade Representative would not prohibit or try to discourage any agency that is in the interagency review from doing a further investigation as far as their agency is concerned. That is what we are speaking of.
