Parker:My Secretary. Sarah, has made reservations for a flight to Beijing for Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin and myself, leaving vancouver next Monday morning. Now, I'll have to send the details of this flight to Beijing so that our Chinese friends can book rooms for us at a local hotel. The last time Mr. Goodwin visited Beijig. he saw a great new hotel being built in the northeastern section of the city. He spoke to me about it in glowing terms. So. I'll mention the hotel in my e-mail in hopes that perhaps we'll be able to stay here during our visit.
