Gold price-fixing lawsuit update from Reg Howe

11:07p ET Monday, March 19, 2001

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

As we expected, the U.S. Treasury Department has
filed a motion to dismiss Reginald H. Howe's lawsuit
with GATA in U.S. District Court in Boston. Reg is
evaluating the motion and its supporting brief and
hopes to post it all on the Internet this week.
Whether we can get it posted that quickly or not, I
should have a copy of it in the mail in a day or two
and will let you know what it says as best I can
interpret it. Of course Reg may issue another status
report in the near future as well.

CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer
