WB country director

As press officer of the World Bank, Jakarta, I am writing to respectfully correct your article published on Sunday, Jan. 17, 1999, in which you state that Dennis de Tray will leave this month as country director for Indonesia, and that Mark Baird will take office in April.

I realize that you picked this story up from Dow Jones, and they were incorrect in their facts. Mr. Baird will indeed become country director for Indonesia in April 1999, however, Dennis de Tray will remain country director until Mark assumes office on March 31. He will not be leaving this month. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
