My second papragraph should have read: "Mr. Hydara, I would have been more comfortable "if" you had reproduced the two decrees in their entirity. I will however give my understanding of the above statements as meaning that decree 70 originally required all new newspapers that were to be established in future to sign a D100,000.00 bond. This was later ammended by decree 71 to apply to existing newspapers as well. Sorry for the error. Have agood day, Gassa. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>> To view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>
