Dear Members and Friends,
With summer soon here and the warmer weather now upon us, there are two thoughts I would like to leave with you for our future talks and discussions. The first has to do with AmCham's activities and how we can make them more relevant to your needs and interests, while the second deals with what we, as a service organization, should be doing to promote business in general.
The past several months have seen a number of changes in the general business environment and my interest is in seeing what AmCham should be doing to assist you in coping with the effects that result from those changes. Please let me, or any of the other board members, know what you would like to see AmCham do to help.
Insofar as lo what more we should be doing to promote business, your suggestions and recommendations arc eagerly sought and I hope you will be candid and forthcoming in answering the questionnaire we will be sending you. Your interest and commitment are appreciated and I hope that with your inputs we will continue to make AmCham all the more relevant to your business needs.

Best regards,
Don Nicholson

Letter from the Editor

 In this issue of Business Connections we continue to present features about recent changes in legislation, decrees and resolutions which affect our business community. News items from our committees and members are intended to inform our community about key issues affecting our business environment and publicize our activities. Our publication needs your inputs, suggestions and criticisms in order for it to reflect the interests of our AmCham community and to help mold the image AmCham wants to project to our friends, partners and host government.
