THE DIFFICULTY COULD BE OVERCOME IF NEW ZEALAND

CREATE A SUB-REGIONAL SYSTEM. RD ARE PREPARED TO DISCUSS THE

MODALITIES WITH THEIR CONTACTS IN THE NEW ZEALAND ADMINISTRATION.

GRATEFUL FOR CONFIRMATION THAT YOU HAVE NO OBJECTION, IF POSSIBLE

BEFORE 30 APRIL.

6. FOR ASCENSION AND ST HELENA. WE ARE ARRANGING FOR COPY OF

LETTER REFERRED TO IN PARA 1 ABOVE TO BE SENT TO ST HELENA

(BLICKS'S LETTER 16 APRIL TO CORBETT REFERS), WITH APOLOGIES FOR

OMMISSION FROM LIST OF ADDRESSEES. WE BELIEVE THAT THE POINT

MADE BY BLICK ABOUT A SIMILAR REQUIREMENT FOR ASCENSION AND ST

HELENA IS COVERED BY PARA 2(C) ABOVE.
