AS REGARDS THE FOURTH PARAGRAPH, IT WOULD BE VERY

HELPFUL TO ME IF A REPRESENTATIVE OF LAKER AIRWAYS

COULD BE PRESENT FOR OUR DISCUSSION ABOUT THE

POSSIBILITY OF INCORPORATING A MODEST CHARTER OPERATION

INTO YOUR PROPOSED SCHEME. I APPRECIATE HOWEVER THAT

THIS COULD NOT BE DONE WITHOUT DISCLOSING TO LAKER

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PROPOSALS WHICH WE HAVE SO

FAR WITHHELD: AND THAT FOR THIS AND OTHER REASONS

HIS ATTENDANCE COULD BE EMBARRASSING. PENDING YOUR RESPONSE, I HAVE THEREFORE (UNDERLINE NEXT WORD) NOT MENTIONED THIS POSSIBILITY TO LAKER. I SHALL BE

GRATEFUL FOR YOUR URGENT CONSIDERATION OF THIS POINT.

4 I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU AGAIN VERY SOON.
