"We have to make a decision by the end of this year whether to proceed," Italian-Thai Finance Vice President Chachai Chutima said. "But we won't let go easily." Italian-Thai had planned to begin construction on the $1 billion Nam Theun 2 power plant in southern Laos this quarter, but environmental concerns raised by the World Bank forced the delay, Mr. Chachai said. The project is one of Italian-Thai's largest. (END) DOW JONES NEWS 10-20-95
