Prime Minister's Meeting with Mr. Sato
Your minute of 28 October.
I suggest that paragraph 2 of the draft telegram be amended as follows:-
(a) insert "first year" before "car" at the end of line

(c) amend sentence beginning "We believe that it is

(a) in next sentence substitute "your strict certificate
of origin procedure" for "the strict certificate of origin procedure".
