WOOD'S TELELETTER TO LEEKS OF 20 OCTOBER: RE-ENTRY PERMITS
1.
WE ARE GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR KEEPING US ABREAST OF YOUR
INTENTION TO SPEAK TO NCNA.
2.
YOUR SPEAKING NOTE DOES NOT SEEM TO US TO BE ENTIRELY CLEAR IN GETTING ACROSS THE ESSENTIAL POINT, WHICH IS SURELY THAT IN THE SECOND SENTENCE OF PARA 1 OF TLUR. IT LAYS RATHER GREATER EMPHASIS ON THE INTRODUCTION AND BENEFITS OF COMPUTERISATION, A SECONDARY POINT. WE WONDER WHETHER NCNA, LIKE US, MIGHT NOT FIND IT A LITTLE CONFUSING. (UNFORTUNATELY, THE FIRST SENTENCE OF
PARA 3 OF THE SPEAKING NOTE WAS RECEIVED WITH A SLIGHT GARBLE, WHICH COULD CONTRIBUTE TO ITS LACK OF CLARITY.)
3.
WE SUGGEST THAT YOU MIGHT INCLUDE THE KEY SENTENCE
IDENTIFIED ABOVE IN THE SPEAKING NOTE, PERHAPS AT THE END OF PARA. THIS WOULD MAKE QUITE CLEAR THE CHANGE IN PROCEDURE TO
WHICH YOU WISH TO DRAW ATTENTION.
ELSEWHERE, WE FOUND THE REFERENCE TO GREEN AND BLACK SEAL HOLDERS RATHER MYSTERIOUS. IF, AS WE ASSUME, IT IS THE CASE THAT HOLDERS OF ONE PARTICULAR TYPE OF SEAL (GREEN?) ARE NOT ELIGIBLE
