Dear [name]:
Kansas City Power & Light Company is pleased to note that
David Parker of Robert W. Baird & Co Inc. recently changed his
recommendation and now backs the KCPL/UtiliCorp merger. In a
First Call report dated July 19, 1996, Mr. Parker raises some of
the same concerns we have regarding Western's sustainable
earnings and dividend levels and therefore, its stock price.
In particular, Mr. Parker said, "...the long and bumpy road
[Western Resources'] merger would face raises significant
uncertainties concerning the true value of WR's bid. If
shareholders do not approve a UCU/KLT merger, we do not believe
the KLT board will support a combination with WR, keeping the
tone of the courting relationship very unfriendly. Since
friendly utility combinations are moving at a snails pace, we
expect an unfriendly merger to move at a glacial speed."
Thank you again for taking time recently to discuss with us
the strategic benefits of the KCPL/UCU merger. If you need
additional information, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
/s/David Myers
David Myers
Manager, Investor Relations
