    Opinion Research Corporation, a Delaware corporation (``Issuer''), 
has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw 
its Common Stock, $.01 par value (``Security''), from listing and 
registration on the American Stock Exchange (``Amex'').

    The Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer approved a 
resolution on June 29, 2001 to withdraw the Security from listing on 
the Exchange and to list the Security on the Nasdaq Stock Market 
(``Nasdaq''). The issuer represented that trading in the Security was 
scheduled to begin on the Nasdaq at the opening of business on July 18, 
2001. The Issuer has stated that the Board took such action, in 
response to the Issuer's investors, to increase its visibility to 
investors and improve the Security's liquidity.
    The Issuer has stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
effect in the State of Delaware, in which it is incorporated, and with 
the Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a 
security from listing and registration. The Issuer's application 
relates solely to the Security's withdrawal from listing on the Amex 
and from registration under section 12(b) of the Act \3\ and shall 
affect neither its approval for trading on the Nasdaq nor its 
obligation to be registered under section 12(g) of the Act.\4\
