Dear Jura;
     I  finished  all  tests  of  my  evaluations  for  Ho-165(n,g)  and 
Ir-191(n,g). But it was surprise for me that the isomer production cross 
sections obtained are very close to your evaluations included in  EAF-4. 
After more careful analysis I have  found that your evaluations based on
the  energy  dependent isomer ratios  normalized to  the  thermal data. 
It  is  very  close  to  our  recommendations  discussed  in   my 
contribution to the S.Petersburg Meeting. It is very pity that  you said 
me nothing about this approach before. Were your approach is published?
I will be happy  to  get  a  corresponding  copy  of  your  preprint  or 
publication on this subject. In any case I need the  reference  on  your 
work to include it in the final report on the LLRN CRP. Please send  the 
reference as soon as possible.
     Your energy dependence of isomer ratios differs only a little  from 
the similar one that we attempted to prepare with M.Chadwick at Livermore
(he was not informed about your approach too!). We shall try to  develop 
more accurate systematics of the isomer ratios for the radiative capture 
and I will be happy to discuss our approach with you during  the  Madrid 
Meeting on this May. But now  I  don't  see  a  necessity  to  send  our 
evaluations of the (n,g) reactions as a contribution to FENDL/A-2. I  am 
agree that the EAF-4 data for these two reactions are  good  enough  and 
our changes relates to the energy region above 1 MeV where  we  have  no 
any experimental data. It is open question what must be recommended  for 
the final report of the LLRN CRP. I hope to find some  a  compromise  on 
this subject after discussions with you and A.Pashchenko.
     Looking forward to hear your replay on my former  message  sent  on 
today morning. Best regards,                         Anatoly
