1.

As Mr O'Keeffe suggests the planning paper ought to be revised to take account of valid points in the Governor's despatch before

submission to the Secretary of State. But it seems clear that even

so there will remain a number of quite important differences between

us and the Governor.

2.

I suggest that after the Planning Committee meeting to-morrow

we should send the Planning Paper to the Governor as it stands with

a letter explaining that we shall be reviewing the paper in the light

of his despatch but that on the following points there would seem to be

differences of view and that we should like to iron these out as far

as possible during his visit preferably in meetings at official level

before he sees the Secretary of State. We are accordingly trying

to arrange for the meeting with the Secretary of State to be on Wednesday, 31 March.

3. I hope that the PUS will be free to chair a meeting with the

Governor on Monday, 29 March.
