Affairs, London, to grant ICM international staff and their dependants in Hong Kong limited immunities and privileges as, for example, in instant case and other similar minor matters, he could do so at once. It was suggested that ICM Headquarters in Geneva raise the issue again through the Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom in Geneva.

This letter is intended to serve that purpose. May I also express the hope that the pending question of exemption from income tax on salaries, emoluments and in- demnities paid by ICM to its international staff could be settled on an ad hoc basis.

I remain, Dear Mr. Ambassador,

Sincerely,

James L.
