Dear Madam,

Thank you for the minutes of the UNEC Resettlement eting held on 20 July 1983.

On page € (of the minutes), item on Immigration, where 1 am recorded as saying "With the Immigration Department's shortage of interpreters", I should have said "Even with full use of the three interpreters" as I think, there is no shortage of interpreters for us to handle the work as at the moment. It is because of the high degree of illiteracy among the refugees that makes the processing work slowed down a bit.

1 should be grateful it you would arrange to amend the minutes in the next meeting.

WY/1c

Yours faithfully,

William YAN
