LAKER ISSUE WOULD BE SETTLED IN THE SPRING OF NEXT YEAR.
6. I UNDERSTAND FROM ROBERTS THAT WHITEHALL IS CONSIDERING SEEKING
AN EXEMPTION FOR LAKER FROM ATLA'S LICENSING. EVEN IF THERE WERE NOT CONSIDERABLE LEGAL COMPLICATIONS IN PROCEEDING IN THIS WAY,
I WOULD ADVISE AGAINST SUCH A SOLUTION WHICH WOULD MAKE A MOCKERY
OF ATLA'S ROLE AND WOULD BE LIKELY TO CAUSE A REACTION IN HK. IF THE PROPOSALS AS I HAVE OUTLINED THEM ARE ACCEPTED, THEN IT WOULD BE UNNECESSARY.
7. I UNDERSTAND ROBERTS HAS REPORTED IN A SIMILAR VEIN TO DOT.
