Re: Hagler Bailly, Inc.
Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form 8-A
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Hagler Bailly, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
we hereby request the withdrawal of the Company's Registration Statement on
Form 8-A, registration number 0-22165 (the "Form 8-A"), originally filed on
February 21, 1997 (the "Filing Date"), with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Commission's Electronic Data
Gathering Analysis and Retrieval system.
We request this withdrawal because the Company's Registration Statement on
Form S-1, registration number 333-22207, did not become effective within 60 days
of the Filing Date. We intend to refile the Form 8-A with the Commission prior
to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 becoming effective.
We respectfully request that all questions and comments relating to this
matter be directed to the undersigned at the number listed above.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Brian M. Katz
