Gata Bill + 30 new Kruggerrands = one small step... ... for GataLand as these foot prints travel onwards until GreatLand or GoldLand or RealLand is found to be the only CorrectLand to replace FiatFunnyMoneyLand :o) Subj: [GATA] Great News from New Orleans Date: 11/30/01 From: LePatron@LeMetropoleCafe.com To: dougak @ Pluto.planet Le Metropole Members, Dear Friend of GATA and Gold: Thursday was a day of wonderful success for GATA at the New Orleans Investment Conference. GATA Chairman Bill Murphy's address, scheduled in what might as well be called "prime time" -- late morning -- was rousing, drew a big and attentive audience, and was well received. (I copied it to you last night.) It was immediately and aptly followed by a brilliant presentation by GATA consultant James Turk of the Freemarket Gold and Money Report, who, with excellent charts, reviewed the statistical evidence of manipulation of the gold market by the U.S. government. He is predicting a flight from the dollar. This was followed by a panel discussion in which conference chairman Brien Lundin of Gold Newsletter questioned Murphy, Turk, and gold lawsuit plaintiff Reginald H. Howe about the gold market and put to them written questions from the audience. Later, another speaker, Bob Bishop of the Gold Mining Stock Report, endorsed GATA's work. This was by far the liveliest part of the conference so far, even if it was helped by the great interest in gold among many people attending. But the most dramatic moment of the day came at GATA's reception in the evening, when, in front of about 50 of our supporters -- some of whom had come from as far away as Germany, Austria, and Australia -- Durban Roodeport Deep CEO Mark Wellesley-Wood gave Murphy a magnificent contribution: 30 beautiful new Kruggerrands. Just as important, Wellesley-Wood made a suggestion for raising money with them: Selling them as keepsakes to GATA supporters who might be willing to pay a little more than their market value. So that's exactly what we'll do when we get home and can give thought to the details. Wellesley-Wood made kind and encouraging remarks about GATA, and most encouraging of all was his affirmation that DRD knows that gold is money and will always be so and that his company operates from this premise. DRD has a huge following in the United States, and its shareholders here and around the world should know that the company has been helping GATA enormously from our very beginning. The company helps the cause every day with its own advocacy of gold as money. I also got to make some remarks at the reception, which, in congressional style, I will "revise and extend" and share with you later, as when you may have trouble falling asleep. Murphy and I have some private meetings scheduled today with other gold partisans as the conference continues. I'll keep you posted about developments.
