three year term as Governor in June 1979.

2. A General Election is due in Belize around the end of
Mr McEntee, pronounced himself willing to extend his
term as Governor until after this event and his considerable
expertise and local knowledge will obviously be a great help
at this time. Since the Election looks like being unusually

successor with a clean slate.
3.
It is recommended that Mr McEntee's term of office should
be extended until the end of 1979 or to early 1980, the exact
date to depend on the local political circumstances.
