Dear Mr. Wright 
In aytuan of 1974 our Foundation came to an arrangement with 
the Beaujon family about a one year's option for purchasing 
Slagfcaai at MAC. 1.500.000- <»»$$ 800.000). Oust after we 
had started a campaign to obtain the money the Baaujons told 
us that we should not have publicly mentioned .the price and, 
therefore, they considered the appointment broken. 
& few months ago new negotiations were started via the 
Antillean, '‘Sinister of Economic Affairs, Mr. Fourier. 
This resulted inawritten offer by Jan Beaujon to the Minister - 
but our Foundation is still not aware of the contents of that 
letter of last month. Unfortunately, the Minister was so 
occupied by several sever® economic problems in the past 
weeks, that he did not reply. Today, Jan Beaujon informed 
our Chairman, Drs. A.A. Rdmer, that his offer to the Government 
is not valid any longer and that he will sell Slagbaai to any 
who should make a firm offer as he got tired by so many negot¬ 
iations . 
This means that if Acuamarine Cmrp. really plans to buy Slag 
baai, nothing will prevent them jpift purchasing. Therefore, 
we do not see any real possibilities at this very moment. 
Sincerely yours, 
Ingvar Kristensen
