grant of an extension of leave to Dr. McKenny and to your

opinion that the conditions under which such leave may be granted
should be defined.
3.
It will be seen from the draft amendment that it
is proposed to make a differentiation in treatment according to
the benefit which it is estimated will accrue to Government in
each case.
The cases of the officers in the despatch under
reference would of course be considered as coming with in the
first category.
