They did NOT ask any questions regarding Thornton Group they initially thought Grant Thornton – I clarified as nothing to do with them and gave them Thornton Group LLC. They also queried whether our industry focus in resources was linked to Hunter being on board of Ukraine gas – I advised NOT LINKED.

>> Devon, I think the story they would like to dig will be more on your side. You should get you PR firm to advise you . But I think to put it as you individuals investment may not work. BHR registration with Shanghai free trade zone stated as Rosemont Seneca. This document can be accessed by the reporters. 
>>  
>> BHR has not a PR house yet. Bohaicapital used a Chinese one who would not be helpful for WSJ. I asked Xinzhong , who handled PR matters for Bohaicapital, to follow  up on this. I can attend any conference call for this anytime.

>> Thanks Lindsay.  This reporter has been calling around many colleagues and partners of Hunter and me overnight.  Which begs the question, do we have anyone that handles out PR requests for BHR?  
>>  
>> In general we do have PR people personally, because anything that gets into the news cycle seems to mushroom with false speculations, but that said we haven't included BHR in their briefings as we haven't had a first close.
>>  
>> Shall we have a call this evening to quickly discuss messaging?  Or tomorrow morning our time?

>> I have a meeting at noon our time tomorrow with the PR firm Hunter and me have engaged so want to be on the same page with Beijing on messaging.

>> Lindsay,
>> If the WSJ calls back I would ensure you qualify that the BHR JV is with Hunter and I as individuals.  How we were advised as by counsel was to it this way and I just want it to be clear.  I don't think its a big issue but wanted to make sure that's how it's presented.  '...Hunter and Devon, whose firm is Rosemont Seneca, but the JV is with us as individual private citizens.'  Thanks.
