THANK YOU FOR THIS RECORD, WHICH COVERS FAMILIAR GROUND.

2. WE HAVE NOTED THE POINT (IN PARAGRAPH 6) ABOUT CLOSED AREA

PERMITS. UMELCO MEMBERS HAVE ALSO TAKEN IT UP RECENTLY, AND WE SHALL

CERTAINLY SEEK WAYS OF REDUCING ANY PRESENT INCONVENIENCE. BUT

PRECLUDE THEIR ISSUE IN LONDON TO RETURNING RESIDENTS.

3. WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED OF THE ARRANGEMENTS MADE.
