I am glad to be able to inform you that I have  
laid the main lines ef our plan before H. E. the  
Prime Minister and that he has expressed his agreement  
                          with it.                          
 
                                                            
 
 
As regards more particularly the expenditure involved, - the major portion   
of which, as you know, is to be met by the Department of the Interior H.E.   
Bonomi as Minister of the Interior anticipates no difficulties in  
                       that respect.                        
 
              With my kindest regards I remain              
 
                      Yours sincerely
