The search is on for companies to help reconstruct Iraq

Government officials are compiling a list of around 100 domestic companies which will be capable of doing business with Iraq after the war ends. The list contains enterprises which already had trade links and contacts with Iraqi counterparts in the past, have current contracts or are hoping to enter that market. According to unofficial information the list will be presented to the U.S. government. The creation of the list is being assisted by the Polish-Arab Chamber of Commerce (PAIG). Rzeczpospolita reports U.S. administration representatives have turned to Poland, as well as other allies, to compile such a list. It will be form of dividend for participating in the military operation. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, B1) A.K.
