Dear Sir,
I was greatly surprised to hear that Miss Christine Vertucci's visa
would not be renewed.
Miss Vertucci has been in Hong Kong for four years, and I have known her for most of that time. I have had the opportunity of personally seeing her put her commitment and expertise at the service of the under-privileged of Hong Kong, I have also seen how much her services were appreciated by these people.
Hong Kong has made great progress in the past few years. However I do not think we have reached the stage where we can dispense with the dedicat~ ion and professional skills of a person like Miss Vertucci.
So I appeal to you, Sin, to have the decision about kiss Vertucci re-
considered, and her visa renewed.

Sincerely,
(Fr.) James Hurley 3.J.
