Re: Lanstar Semiconductor Inc.
Form 10 - EDGAR CIK - 0001002829
--------------------------------
Dear Ms. Miller:
Pursuant to our telephone conversations on February 12-13, 1998, and on
behalf of Lanstar Semiconductor Inc. ("LSI"), I am writing to confirm that LSI
is voluntarily withdrawing the Form 10 Registration Statement and Exhibits filed
on December 17, 1997, via EDGAR, which would otherwise become effective on
February 17, 1998.
As we discussed, LSI is voluntarily withdrawing its Form 10 Registration
Statement and Exhibits (the "Form 10") pursuant to an understanding that staff
comments will be expedited upon resubmission of LSI's Form 10.
Again, I would like to reiterate LSI's willingness to discuss any issue
related to the Form 10 as evidenced by our telephone calls to Mr. Earl
Sanderson. Due to the extended period of nontrading in LSI's stock, LSI is
naturally eager to have its registration pursuant to Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 be declared effective as soon as possible.
In addition, I encourage you to contact Ms. Robin Shipman, the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission Branch Chief for the

Central Regional Office at (303) 844-1000. Ms. Shipman was involved with the
initial suspension of trading in LSI's stock and is aware of LSI's efforts to
file a Form 10. She has evidenced a willingness to provide assistance to the
Corporate Finance Department, if requested, related to LSI's history and the
reason for suspension of trading in LSI's stock.
Your timely assistance is greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,
/s/ RALPH S. JANVEY
