11 September 1971
You will remember that while I was
in London I raised the question of the continuing uncertainty about the Dormant Commission
You told me then, as I recollect, that Murray MacLehose's preliminary view was to agree that the document no longer served a useful purpose, but that he would like to see the papers before giving his final opinion.
I think there would be advantage in clearing the position before I leave, and settling the matter one way or the other.
