RE: CEMAX-ICON, INC. REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM 8-A
Dear Ms. Starr:
On June 19, 1996 Cemax-Icon, Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission its Registration Statement on Form S-1 and its Registration Statement
on Form 8-A. Pursuant to your telephone conversation with Jason Wacha of Wilson,
Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati, you are aware that Cemax-Icon, Inc. does not expect
its Registration Statement on Form S-1 to be declared effective within 60 days
of June 19, 1996. Consequently, I am hereby requesting that the Registration
Statement on Form 8-A previously filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 19, 1996 be withdrawn pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933. Please confirm the withdrawal by telephone or
facsimile.
Yours very truly,
CEMAX-ICON, INC.
Terry Ross
President and Chief Executive Officer
