LECHT
However in the hope of clearing the way for a satisfactory solution of the Snake Fence dispute the Ministry of Defence are prepared to withdraw this claim.
10. After a long and arduous battle in ..hitehall on your behalf we have, I think, achieved the best possible compromise from your point of view. Although I fully realise that you may still have some difficulty in persuading your Finance Committee to vote the funds required I hope therefore that you will feel able to do your utmost to bring them to accept the proposed solution in the interests of disposing of this time-consuming and tedious problem.
