For and on behalf of our client, William Nessen, with regard
to your news article of Aug. 4, page two, under the title Nessen
sentenced, but finally freed, column two, paragraph three, which
reads: "Nessen accused the Indonesian Military (TNI) of
confiscating the equipment. 'I hope the military will give me
back all my belongings.'"

We would like to state as follows:
* William Nessen never accused the Indonesian Military (TNI) of
confiscating the equipment.
* William Nessen only assumed that at the time he turned himself
in to the military, the equipment might be kept by the military.

We hope this explanation clarifies matters.
