By Bill Murphy, Chairman Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc. March 5, 2001 Some of you may be attending the Prospectors and Developers Convention in Toronto that begins on March 12. If so, I look forward to meeting you. On Tuesday evening GATA will be hosting a hospitality suite from 7 p.m. to midnight. Please join us at the Royal York Hotel, Suite 9175. GATA is very grateful to Canadian Royalties Ltd., which is sponsoring our opportunity to meet people attending the convention. GATA is also organizing the GATA Africa Gold Summit in Durban, South Africa, around the middle of May. We expect to attract the mining ministers of the African gold-producing countries, the leaders of the political parties in South Africa, gold producer executives and business leaders, and the leaders of the mining and trade unions, among others. We already have significant South African support for this conference. Not only will an impressive array of speakers elaborate on the manipulation of the gold market, which has devastated the economies of poor African gold-producing countries, but we will offer African countries an ACTION PLAN with which they can correct the travesty within a few weeks. Today's response to GATA from Lawrence B. Lindsey, President Bush's adviser for economic policy, acknowledging that he appreciated receiving GATA's "information you sent regarding the price of gold," is a signal to us that the Bush administration is aware of and working on the gold problem. GATA understands that the new administration may need time to figure out how to handle the gold nightmare left by the Clinton administration. The Bush people deserve some time to figure out the best way to deal with it and how not to be blamed for something they had nothing to do with. The bottom line is that the gold price is going to soar, no matter what solution they think best. They have to act decisively and put the blame where it belongs. At the summit, GATA will explain how a facet of the previous U.S. administration along with a group of bullion banks determined that their welfare was more important than the lives of millions of black people and the economies of African countries led by blacks. We have much more to present to the African mining ministers, which I will not get into until the summit. GATA extends special thanks to maverick geologist Keith Barron, who has planned and executed this GATA undertaking for some time now. -END- Your use of Yahoo!
