We consider a convex weakly compact subset $D$ of $E$ which does not contain the origin.\par Then there is a sequence $\left\{x_n^*\right\}_{n\ge 1}$ in $B_{E^*}$ and $g_0^*\in \hbox{co}_{\sigma}\{x_n^*:n\ge 1\}$ such that for all $h\in \ell_\infty (A)$ satisfying that for all $a\in A,$ $$\liminf_{n\ge 1}x_n^*(a) \le h(a) \le\limsup_{n\ge 1}x_n^*(a),$$ we have that\ \ $g_0^*- h$\ \ does not attain its supremum on $A$ and\ \ $( g_0^*- h)(d)>0$\ \ for every $d\in D$.
