Re: Form S-3 (Registration Number 33-86906; Original Filing
    Date 30-November-1994)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This letter is being written pursuant to Form RW to request withdrawal
of the Registration Statement on Form S-3, Registration Number 33-86906
originally filed on 30-November-1994 (the "Registration Statement") by
Metalclad Corporation (the "Company").

     The reason for withdrawal is that the passage of time has obviated the
need for registration.  No sales have been made or will be made under the
registration statement.

Very truly yours,

   /s/Grant S. Kesler

Grant S. Kesler, President
Metalclad Corporation
