Re: Strong International Equity Funds, Inc. ("Registrant") File
Nos. 33-45108 and 811-6524
- Strong Global Technology Fund
Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment
Accession Number: 0000882563-00-000001
Dear Sir or Madam:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
("Securities Act"), the Registrant requests the withdrawal of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 15 to the Registration Statement under the Securities Act ("PEA
15") and Amendment No. 16 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
("No. 16"), which was filed on March 24, 2000 under form type 485APOS. The
Accession Number for the filing is 0000882563-00-000001.
PEA 15 and No. 16 were filed to add the Strong Global Technology Fund as a
series fund of the Registrant. We are withdrawing PEA 15 and No. 16 because
current market conditions do not warrant offering the fund at this time.
If you have any questions or comments, please call me at (414) 359-3918.
Sincerely,
/s/ Steven J. Shenkenberg
Steven J. Shenkenberg
Vice President
