CYNICAL COMMENT, BUT POSSIBLE ALSO TO CRITICISM OF THIS
GOVERNMENT FOR SEEKING TO COME TO A DECISION WHILE
AS REGARDS (B), ONE VERY
STILL IN DOUBT OF HMGUS INTENTIONS.
IMPORTANT FACTOR IN COMING TO A DECISION IS OF COURSE HMG~S
INTENTIONS. IN SOME WAYS, THEREFORE, EVEN A FIRM INDICATION
THAT NO HELP CAN BE OFFERED AT PRESENT WOULD BE BETTER THAN NO
ANSWER FROM YOU AT ALL.
3. EVEN IF A NEGATIVE ANSWER IS GIVEN NOW, I SHALL NATURALLY
CONTINUE TO PRESS FOR SOME ASSISTANCE AT A LATER DATE. I DO NOT
REGARD THE PROVISION OF ASSISTANCE AS NO MORE THAN A DESIRABLE
GESTURES BUT AS A CLEAR OBLIGATION, DUE IN RECOGNITION OF THE
FACT THAT HMG CONTROLS THE USE OF THE AIRPORT BY FOREIGN AIRLINES.
