       Amendment No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1

       Summary, page 2

   1.                                                   We note your response
to prior comment 1 and revised disclosure. Please disclose in
                                                        quantitative and
qualitative terms how economic incentives could result in substantial
                                                        misalignment of
interests where an initial business combination does occur. For example,
                                                        since your sponsor
acquired a 20% stake for approximately $0.01 per share and the
                                                        offering is for $10.00
per unit, your sponsor could make a substantial profit after the initial
                                                        business combination
even if public investors experience substantial losses.
