Hi Joe!

Below is the data you requested.  If you have any questions at all,
please don't hesitate to let me know.

Just as an FYI, in one instance, I used MakeAShorterLink (
http://makeashorterlink.com ) in order to shorten a link that was
really long.  You need to simply click on the MakeAShorterLink URL
that I've included and you will be redirected to the appropriate page
with your data.  The original link is a Google cache page and while it
is no longer available unless you use the cache, it is from a very
reputable source (the U.N.).

interested in international financial information.
