Ref: Project A
Dear Sirs:
It is my pleasure to have this opportunity to give you fantastically
Good News from my short trip to Albania. It is a land with a
newly-established democratic government, which opens up new horizons for
us. We will have a noteworthy advantage in making investments and
establishing production.
Enclosed you have received a compilation of a few important facts about
the country. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have further
questions.
I have already made preparations with a commerce and construction
company. They will shortly be asked into Tirana. This firm will build
a Commercial Center with hotel complex right in the middle of downtown
Tirana. One of our next goals is to found a private bank in Tirana.
I will gladly arrance the opportunity with you and other WISE members,
in order to see, how we can cooperate with this and other projects. For
that purpose I have arranged for a conference in Tirana 26-28 Decmber
1992. You and 29 other WISE members are invited. I am looking forward
to hearing your reply soon
Cordially,
[signature]
P.S. Since I am mostly away, you can also contact our project office,
which I have established with my partner, Mr. Reinhold Stricker. At the
moment you can reach it at CCI INSTITUT, Schloss Phillippselch, 6072

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT PROJECT ALBANIA
In the summer of '92 major opinion leaders from Albania have requested
help from WISE international. WISE became active and ready in November
started a course of 30 students at the University of Tirana. Tirana is
the capitol of Albania. There are further requests for the expansion of
Hubbard Management Technology in Albania.
It has been promised on Albanian national television that the land will
be led to new heights with the help of LRH Admin Tech. Now this must be
delivered.
Several WISE members visited Albania at the end of November 1992, in
order to find out what was needed and wanted, and in which areas
cooperation and activity will be needed.
One of the first visitors was Gerhard Haag (CEOs Circle Member) and his
partner Reinhold Stricker. They visited various ministries and
experienced immediate cooperation in all.
The establishment of a construction and commerce firm, ALBANIA BUILDING
& TRADE, was started on the spot. This company will arrange the most
needed buildings for various purposes: residence, commercial and
production as well as others.
Gerhard Haag and Reinhold Stricker have planned to call further
foundations and projects into being.
FURTHER STEPS
You are invited to take part in "Project A", and to participate in all
the possible activities.
Presently new foreign visitors come daily in order to open a business or
joint venture, or to buy land and arrange something for the future.
We as WISE members have rather good possibilities there, since we
already have established connections to which we can refer.
The only thing you have to do in order to be a part of the game is to
fill out the questionaire. Then you will be invited to the 26-28
December 1992 conference at Tirana. There you can meet top officials
and opinion leaders, and everything will be arranged so that you can
find and establish your required activity. You can even make your own
suggestios as to the development of Albania. You can simply utilize
Project A for your future activities. In a short time the WISE
management technology will be extended and available to the Albanians.
This study has been worked out by Gerhand Haag and Reinhold Stricker.

AREAS OF POTENTIAL ACTIVITY
The following list is not complete by far, because it is derived from
just one visit to Albania of only several days duration.
1. The new Albania Building and Trade Company will erect new buildings
and engage in commerce in the the area of construction material and will
also start production units for construction material, i.e. in areas of
marble, pipe, steel beams, metal fittings, concrete, lime and plaster.
2. It is possible to establish the first private bank of Albania. The
only requirement consists of having a certain knowledge of banking, a
license from the Bank of Albania (easily obtainable for WISE members),
and 2 qualfied bank officials for the bank's board of officers.
3. Newspaper industry. At the moment, any number of small new
newpapers are being published and it is further possible to build up
either a large newspaper or magazine.
4. There are many possibilities in the area of agriculture. The
country has an excellent climate. All sorts of vegetables, olives,
grapes, nuts, oranges and tobacco grow there. There is also a high
quality of milk production. The land has excellent sources of mineral
water. Many of these products could be exported, however, no
connections or organization have been established that could manage the
exportation.
5. Extensive possibilities exist in the tourist industry. There are
beautiful beaches, mountains and lakes. At the moment there are only a
small number of hotels, most of which are sub-standard. It is an area
which finds itself almost completely in Non-Existence.
6. The area of transportation is under-developed. In the entire land,
one sees predominantly old cars, and of those only a small number.
There is a major need for trucks, delivery vans, cars, helicopters and
ships. For your information: Italy is only 70 kilometers away. It is
also possible to start a pilot's association.
7. Large investment will be necessary in the area of
telecommunications. The country has only about 4,000 telephones. And
an order will be extended at the start of 1993, probably for a mobile
telephone net, such as D2.
8. The country has large reserves of potable water, but no extensive
distribution system. Large investments will be made in this area in the
next few years.
9. In the ministries we have seen Intel style 286 computers. In any
case this is an area for the introduction of higher technology and
corresponding software.
10. In the area of mining, many valuable resources exist: oil, gas,
iron ore, chrome, nickel and cobalt, as well as coal.
11. We found many other possible areas of possible urgent activity.
These areas are:
Furniture. One has beautiful wood, as well as the specialists which
are necessary to do the work.
Factories are in existence for the manufacture of plastics, leather,
textiles and crafts, as well as for carpet manufacture and articles out
of brass and copper which could be exported.
