                       PRESS STATEMENT
     This has been a useful meeting. Both parties have expressed
their views clearly, and the meeting has taken place in a spirit of
cooperation. Further details cannot be given at present, but it is
hoped that the increased understanding resulting from this meeting
will be of assistance in resolving the present situation. I am afraid
that we cannot answer questions at this stage. Thank you.

     EXERCISE 1. Could I ask you a question?
     You are just leaving an important negotiation with another
company. The press is at the door. You hear a number of journal-
ists with questions for you. You must speak to them and be polite,
but try not to tell them anything (except that a statement will be
issued soon). Practice using the phrases above.
