"The most memorable aspect of them [donkey diving] is the fear and
disorientation you notice on the animals' faces after they hit
the water," says Joe Taksel. He continues, "This
is a belly flop times ten."

One
of our legislators is pushing to get the donkey diving height
limit raised to 15 feet. However, the Bill originally drafted,
lowered the limit to only 5 feet. Personally, I think we need
to put a lot of thought into this piece of legislation.

"All
hell broke loose when we sent our Y2K surveys to
11,000 banks and S&Ls!

"Bankers
threatened me with lawsuits. Regulators hit the
ceiling. Why? Because over 1,305 financial
institutions are behind schedule in fixing their
computers for the Year 2000, and they don't want
you to know who they are. But I will tell you…

Dear Friend,

I recently sent surveys
to 11,000 banks and S&Ls, asking them about their
progress in fixing their computers for the Year 2000.

All hell broke loose.
Bankers sent me threatening letters. S&L managers
went ballistic. Federal regulators hit the ceiling.

One banker wrote me that
"any survey results compiled by your company...
will result in dire consequences." Another
warned: "If you release any derogatory
information regarding our... Y2K efforts, we will
immediately begin a lawsuit against your firm and its
management."

But to ensure the safety
of your money, you MUST
have this information. So I'm publishing the results
of our survey - no matter what
they say!

"Many
[bank] computers

could malfunction or

even shut down."

Here's why: If your bank
isn't ready for the Year 2000, your checking and
savings accounts could be FROZEN. Worse, just the FEAR
of this event could cause a bank run any time BEFORE
the Year 2000!

According to our surveys,
there are now at least 1,300 banks and S&Ls behind
schedule in fixing their computers. And if you add
credit unions, the number of institutions behind
schedule swells to over 6,000!

That's why Senator
Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) recently declared: A study on
Y2K by the Congressional Research Service "substantiates
the worst fears of the doomsayers."

To help protect
you from the impending disaster...

I
want to send you

the actual results of

our Y2K surveys - FREE!

My name is Martin Weiss,
publisher of the Weiss Safety Ratings and the YEAR
2000 ALERT.

According to a study by
the US General Accounting Office (GAO), our safety
ratings are more accurate than those of Moody's and
Standard & Poor's.

Louis Rukeyser says ours
is a "tougher service." Fortune says Weiss
is "the most comprehensive source" of
information.

Now, we have just
introduced the WEISS Y2K RATINGS for thousands of
banks, S&Ls and insurers.
