(Executive Council)

The following is being distributed at the request of the Confernce of Atlantic Premiers:

Trade mission to the eastern U.S.A.

Atlantic premiers will conduct a trade mission to the eastern United States in the fall of 1998. "We have no doubt that this trade mission will lead to business development opportunities," said Prince Edward Island Premier Pat Binns. "We have strong trading links with the eastern seaboard, so we have a strong base from which to work."

Premiers have created a mission planning group to assure appropriate focus, participation and successful arrangements.
