As regards handling, I shall be on duty over the weekend and will come into the office on Monday morning to put this material together. Apart from the exception above in relation to NATO, I think that the contributions should be in the normal form of elements of a Private Secretary letter. I should be grateful if all the elements could be with you by 0930 hrs on Monday morning. Could I please leave it to you to make sure this is all in hand?
