[Iraqi Bank friend Aki in Michigan]

Question presented to Aki - Concerning the statement that was made by a representative of the WTO

[about Iraq launching a fully convertible currency in October

AKI: I didn't hear anything about October...

WALKINGSTICK: I would call it scuttlebutt because the interpreter was telling me that he says he's not sure about that...but he knows there are rumors out there about when this is going to happen.

AKI: I did hear about the WTO guy. Maybe he's talking about a new currency that would be convertible prior to October but there is no mention at the banks about October being the date. If anything I have heard it is before that.
