UNIVERSITY OF THE WEST INDIES

January 15, 1981.

Dr. Basil Ince,

Director,

Institute of International Relations, University of the West Indies,

St. Augustine, TRINIDAD' W.I.

Dear Dr. Ince,

I now have the support of both the Governor and the Chief

Minister for a seminar on Alternative to. Independence. I also

have the assurance of Government's participation. In fact, attempts are being made to have an observer/participator from the British

Government, perhaps from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

I am suggesting either March or April, if you can make any

of these dates. Let me have your early reaction and your ideas for

the seminar format. Are we, for instance, talking about 3 days? As I see it, participants could include the Governor, Government

Ministries (4), Permanent Secretaries (7), Heads of Government

about 3 University Centre Part-time Tutors. But that is merely

writing off the cuff. In any case, it gives you an idea of the kind

of people I can assemble.

Kind regards.

c.c. His Excellency,

The Governor.

Yours sincerely,

(Sgd.) H.A. Fergus,

Resident Tutor.

Resident Tutor.
