either submitting

statement on

or do not
believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response.

       After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the

4.       As requested by prior comment 10, please disclose the risk to

         being required to hold the warrants while insiders can exercise and
sell the underlying
         common stock.
We may issue . . ., , page 57

5.       Your response to prior comment 11 relates to additional shares "issued
in connection with
         an initial business combination." Your revisions on page 58 relate to
additional shares
         issued prior to an initial business combination. Please reconcile.

6.       Although we note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment
12 regarding your
         beliefs, it remains unclear whether shareholders who receive funds
from the trust account
         in connection with a liquidation could be liable for amounts greater
than the amount they
         so received. Please revise your disclosure to clarify it this is a
possible outcome.

7.       We note from your response to prior comment 13 that the entity that
controls your
         sponsor is controlled by a board of managers. Please revise footnote 3
to identify the
         natural persons on the board of managers who have or share voting
and/or dispositive
         power with respect the securities held by your sponsor.

8.     From your response to prior comment 17, it appears that purchasers of
