YOUR TELNO 512: ANNUAL REPORT TO PARLIAMENT

1.

WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT EARLIER EXCHANGES OF TELEGRAMS HAVE

CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED ALL THE CHANGES TO THE DRAFT OF 13 JANUARY

SENT TO YOU BY BAG THAT HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED INTO OUR FINAL PROOF. THE ONE EXCEPTION, WE THINK, IS THAT IN PARA 26, SECOND SENTENCE, THE REFERENCE SHOULD BE TO QUOTE AT TIMES UNQUOTE NOT

QUOTE AT TIME UNQUOTE. OTHERWISE YOUR FINAL VERSION SHOULD IN

FACT BE IDENTICAL TO OUR FINAL PROOF. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE

USED HEAVY TYPE FOR EACH OF THE SECTION HEADINGS PRECEDED BY

ROMAN NUMERALS (NOT BLOCK CAPITALS) AND ITALICS FOR ALL

SUB-HEADINGS (WITH NO UNDERLINING).

WE ARE PUZZLED AT THE DELAY IN THE PROOF GETTING TO YOU.

THE FCO BAG ROOM HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE BAG LEFT ON TIME ON 7

FEBRUARY. THE DELAY MAY BE AT YOUR END IN THE BDSMO. YOU MAY

WANT TO CHECK.
