commission does not expire until next

aries

extend Sir David's term. For the

reasons given in this minute I very

much hope you will agree that we may

offer him an extension of one year,

subject to his continuing physical

fitness and a medical examination.

I am sending a copy of this minute

to the Foreign Secretary.
