NCAL
REF.
YOU NOW HAVE A MORE DETAILED SITUATION REPORT ON TYPHOON LUCY
IN OUR TELEGRAM NO. 504.
2. THE WHOLE OF THIS CORRESPONDENCE PUZZLES US. WE ARE WELL
ACCUSTOMED TO TYPHOONS AND TO COPING WITH THEIR EFFECTS. AS
MENTIONED ABOVE, WE HAVE ALREADY SENT YOU A ROUTINE REPORT ON WHAT WAS, PERHAPS FORTUNATELY, A VERY MINOR TYPHOON. THE EFFECT
OF AN IMMINENT TYPHOON IS, HOWEVER, TO DISRUPT THE NORMAL FUNCTIONING OF THE GOVERNMENT, AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO RESPOND QUICKLY AND FULLY TO REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION ETC. THE MAKING OF ALLOWANCES FOR THIS IS ALL THE ASSISTANCE WE
NORMALLY REQUIRE.
