that the government would make a final decision on the privatization 
of the Qadirpur Gas Field after reaching consensus in parliament.

20. (SBU) COMMENT.  The GOP's fiscal year 2007-2008 privatization 
efforts raised only USD 26 million of the over USD 1 billion goal

fiscal resources and government statements regarding the benefits of 
privatization, the proposed privatization schedule is conservative 
and already encountering strong resistance from the public and 
Parliamentarians.  END COMMENT.
