is plain throughout the book that I am expressing only my views and

interpretations.

On page 16, I have amended the last two sentences of the main

paragraph. On the last page I have removed the reference to

conscience.

I have sidelined the latest changes.

On the two points outside the penultimate chapter, I think I

explained this morning why the word 'briefly' in the Preface has to

go. On the airport chapter, I shall keep a reference to negotiations

on page 339, though this had probably better be a reference to

'possible negotiations'.

This still leaves a gap between us, I'm afraid. But I have done

my best; and without doing violence to my views, I cannot go further.

I do not expect you to like the text; and it remains critical of the

government. But, as you have explained it, that is not the issue.
