RE: Hexcel Corporation--Registration Statement on
Form S-3 (File No. 333-126511)
Dear Ms. Hardy:
Pursuant to Rule 461 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
we respectfully request that the effective date of the Registration Statement
on Form S-3 (File No. 333-126511), as amended, be accelerated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on
August 3, 2005 or as soon as practicable thereafter.
Hexcel Corporation (the "Company") hereby acknowledges:
o should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the
filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking
any action with respect to the filing;
o the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not
relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy
and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
o the Company may not assert this action as defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.
We request that we be notified of such effectiveness by a
telephone call to Byron Dailey of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP at
(212) 735-3509 and that such effectiveness be confirmed in writing.
Very truly yours,
By: /s/ Ira J. Krakower
