RE: The Newkirk Master Limited Partnership
Supplemental Response Letter dated March 21, 2005 re:
Amended Schedule TO-I
filed March 8, 2005
File No. 005-79560
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have the following comment on the above-referenced
filing.
Cover Page of Schedule TO-I
1. Refer to your three responses to each of our prior comments 1.
We note that affiliates of Apollo Real Estate Fund III, executive
officers of Winthrop Financial Associates and affiliates of
Vornado Realty Trust own and control the general partner of your
Partnership (page 12 of your offer). It appears that these parties,
by virtue of their direct and indirect control of your general partner,
would play a significant role in initiating, structuring and negotiating
the offer, and generally control the terms of the offer. In this
respect, advise us about the following matters:
* the type of entity utilized for the formation of the general
partner;
* the percentage ownership interest held in the general partner by
each of the previously named parties;
* the nature of the assets and operations of the general partner
and source of any revenues;
* the identity of the parties that designate and have the
authority to remove the directors or managers of the group that
exercises control or management power over the business and affairs
of the general partner; and
* the identity of the employer of those directors or managers and
the identity of the person that pays their compensation.
Alternatively, pursuant to Instruction K (1) of Schedule TO, these
parties should file a Schedule TO-T and the issuer should file a
corresponding Schedule 14D-9.
Closing Information

comment. If you do not agree with the comment, please tell us why in
your response. If the information you provide in response to our
