After a series of discussions and correspondence between counsel for the Registrant and counsel for Goldman, Sachs & Co., the underwriter of the proposed bond offering, on the one hand, and Messrs. Barry Summer and Andrew Petillon of the Staff, on the other hand, the Registrant has determined that given its time constraints and prevailing conditions in the bond market, a public offering of the bonds is no longer practicable. Pursuant to Rule 477(c) under the Securities Act, please issue a withdrawal order for the above-referenced registration statement. In order for us to confirm the granting of such order, please fax a copy of such order to David M. Dolan, counsel to the Registrant, at (214) 830-1578. Thank you. Very truly yours, /s/ O.
