1. You asked for a draft acknowledgement to Sir Murray
MacLehose of his letter of 22 January about Dangerous Drugs.
2. It will indeed take some time to sort out the implications
of Mr Rolpha's papers. But for the meanwhile we have been
taking action on the American proposals for an ad hoc committee
to deal with narcotics in South East Asia and to consider the
setting up of a sub-commission. In his telegram No 141 the
Governor has given his blessing to the proposals in our
telegram No 33 to UKMIS Geneva. It therefore seems that we
are on the right lines.
