§ Mr. BevanOn two of these matters proposals are under discussion with the106W Treasury. The third involved a general issue regarding the terms and conditions of service, on which a memorandum is being sent this week to the staff for their comments; and a meeting will be held shortly with the staff to discuss the various points arising.
