2. PARA.2 OF TUR WE FEAR THAT THERE IS STILL SOME WAY TO GO BEFORE WE CAN AGREE ON THE TEXT OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE LETTERS PATENT, WE ARE NOT HOPEFUL THAT THIS CAN BE DONE BEFORE 9 JULY. IN ANY CASE, THE COMMENCEMENT DATES OF SOME OF THE BOR PROVISIONS, A FIRM VIEW ON WHICH WILL NOT BE TAKEN UNTIL EXCO DISCUSSES THE BILL (10 JULY), WILL HAVE BEARING ON THE TEXT OF THE AMENDMENT.
