Re:
Companhia Vale do Rio Doce – SEC Review of 2005 Form 20-F
Dear Ms. Goeken:
As indicated in a voicemail message to you and discussed with Kevin Stertzel on January 12, I am writing to provide you with a written confirmation of the expected timing of the response of our clients, Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (“CVRD”) and Vale Overseas Limited (“Vale Overseas,” and together with CVRD, the “Companies”) to the December 29, 2006 comment letter of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) on the Companies’ annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Due to the nature of the Staff’s comments, the complexity of certain of the issues presented and delays due to the recently ended holiday season, the Companies expect to file their response on or about January 26, 2007.
