Thank you for your letter PA SCR 5/4841/88 of 14 February. I confirm that we have been taking parallel action with the MFA in respect of all the material you have been copying to us.

2. I am not sure that this Embassy regards itself as being in the business of being "making a nuisance of itself" with the MFA; but I think I understand your meaning.

3. It is not clear to me whether the information you sent me under cover of your letter SRD 706/3 of 17 February was also meant to be passed onto the MFA. Perhaps you could let me know in due course.

ever,

Jomi
