5. WHILE APPRECIATE THAT SOME CONSIDERABLE RESEARCH MAY BE

INVOLVED, SPEED IS OF THE ESSENCE. THE SPECIAL PLDC SUBGROUP IS

MEETING AT THE END OF THIS MONTH, AND THE BLDC SUBGROUP ITSELF

IN EARLY NOVEMBER. WE CAN TRY TO ENCOURAGE OUR CONTACTS TO AVOID REACHING PREMATURE CONCLUSIONS THIS MONTH, BUT WE WILL CERTAINLY

NEED TO HAVE A LINE FOR THEM TO TAKE IN NOVEMBER. THIS MAY OF

COURSE ALSO BE A SUBJECT THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE WILL WISH TO

RAMSE WITH WU IN OCTOBER.
