Sir-
You state on February 13th that New Mexico has "few natural
resources ",... ...example...... In 1991 New Mexico ranked fourth in the United
States in production of natural gas , seventh in oil and tenth in non-fuel
minerals ... ...8... ... Non-fuel minerals contributed about $ 1 billion and coal
$ 509 million.
Taxes from production of fuels and minerals, and lease payments on state lands have
been set aside by legislative acts to endow two permanent funds worth about
$ 5. 65 billion, ...... 9 ...... In addition, during fiscal year 1991 , payments to
New Mexico from taxes on federal lands were S 108 million ,all earmarked for
public education.
...... 10 ...... About $566 million came from taxes and permanent-fund earnings
attributable to oil and gas production. ......11 ...... Tourism is an important

that of mineral production.
New Mexico came through the recent recession in much better shape than most other
states. It does not have a deficit. ... ... 12... ... States that rely primarily on
a sales tax or on an income tax have big problems during economic downturns. Income
growth per head in New Mexico averaged 6. 1/00 in the year to October 1992-one of
the fastest growth rates in the United States.

China National Light industrial Products Import & Export Corporation, Daren Branch

consideration. We are certain that ,with your prompt cooperation, our purchases of
Chinese window glass for sale in the U. S. A. market will very quickly increase to
a large and substantial volume. With the establishment of diplomatic relations
between our two countries ,the time is now right for a very quick and large
increase in trade between us.
3. For your information, we are doing everything possible to cooperate in achieving
our mutual goal of making the window glass business a very large one. We have
offered to purchase various equipment for your Dairen factory which will increase
its products, improve quality and raise its efficiency. We have offered to accept
payment for this machinery in the form of buy-back of glass. We have also
cooperated with the factory in making suggestions for better efficient packing and
containerization. The factory has been very cooperative and receptive to our ideas.
As we want to begin our business with the other branches too ,we plan to offer the
same suggestions and proposals to purchase machinery for them.
4. From this letter, you can see that we are very sincere in our desire for a long-
term relationship between our two countries and our firm and the various branches
of the China National Light industrial Products Import and Export Corporation,
Window Glass Departments .
During our next visit to China, we will discuss the appointment of our firm as the
exclusive agent for Chinese Window Glass in the U. S. A. market. Since we have

Sincerely yours ,
