Subject: Burma investment - may be you already know about this, but...

Dear friends,

Maybe you already know about this, so please
forgive me if you do and I am clogging up your
email unnecessarily.

There seems to be a new (well at least to me)
service being offered by the Investor
Responsibility Research Centre that researches
companies investing in Burma plus provides
information on legislation including selective
purchasing laws on trade with Burma. Information
follows at the end of this email It is very
pricey at US$950 per annum however. Does anyone
else know about this and have a recommendation
one way or another about its usefulness?

In peace,
Susan Locke
