(B) THERE ARE PRACTICAL, AS WELL AS PRESENTATIONAL REASONS WHY THE SURVEY OFFICE WILL NEED TO BE LOCATED IN SEPARATE OFFICE ACCOMMODATION. I DO NOT THINK THIS WILL CREATE AN IMPRESSION THAT IT IS TOO INDEPENDENT AN ENTITY.
(C) AGREED.

(E) AND (F) AT THIS STAGE I DO NOT ENVISAGE THE NEED FOR SEPARATE PRESS ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MONITORS AS I WOULD HOPE TO BE ABLE TO LAUNCH THE SETTING UP OF THE SURVEY OFFICE WITH A SINGLE ANNOUNCEMENT AND PRESS CONFERENCE. I INTEND TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF EXCO MEMBERS ON THE MOST APPROPRIATE MEANS OF MAKING THE ANNOUNCEMENT, WHICH WILL BE ENTIRELY DISTINCT FROM ANY STATEMENTS INTRODUCING THE GREEN PAPER ITSELF.
4. FORD WILL BE READY TO DISCUSS THE SUBJECT WHEN HE CALLS ON HUM THIS WEEK.
