Re: ChoicePoint Inc.
Request to Withdraw Form 10 Registration Statement
Commission File No. 001-13069
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the distribution of all of the outstanding capital stock of
ChoicePoint Inc. (the "Company") by Equifax Inc. ("Equifax") to Equifax
shareholders (the "Spinoff"), the Company filed a Form 10 Registration
Statement (Commission File No. 001-13069) with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 9, 1997 (the "Form 10 Registration Statement").
The Company has decided to file a Form S-1 Registration Statement with the
Commission in lieu of the Form 10 Registration Statement in connection with the
Spinoff. Thus, on behalf of the Company, I request that the Form 10
Registration Statement be formally withdrawn. The Form S-1 Registration
Statement will be filed concurrently with this Request to Withdraw the Form 10
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Derek V. Smith
