$. AS REGARDS YOUR PARA. 2(1) IN TUR, I TAKE IT THAT A PERSON WHO HAS A BDTC PASSPORT WHICH EXPIRES BEFORE 30 JUNE 1997 WILL ALSO BE ALLOWED TO KEEP HIS BDTC PASSPORT WHEN ISSUED WITH HIS BN (0)
PASSPORT?
6. FINALLY, ON PARA. 2(IV), WE CAN EXPECT SOME PRESSURE FROM THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN UP THEIR BDTC PASSPORTS FOR BN (0) PASSPORTS TO BE REISSUED BDTC PASSPORTS FREE. WE HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE MAJORITY SUCH PEOPLE HAVE CHANGED TO THE BNCO) PASSPORT CLOSE TO THE EXPIRY OF THEIR BDTC PASSPORTS OR BECAUSE THEIR PASSPORTS HAVE BEEN FULLY STAMPED. WE SHALL EXPLAIN THAT WE ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO WAIVE SUCH FEES UNDER YOUR CONSULAR FEE REGULATIONS. GRATEFUL FOR YOUR
CONFIRMATION OF THIS LINE.
