As you know, we have been concerned for sometime regarding conflict .

and uncertainty over lines of authority and responsibility among

Headquarters, BNL, NVOO, and PASO.

This brief Gutline of

our position

jeaves many gray areas that require further resolution. ten‘recommend
"a joint meeting of ourselves and representatives of PASO with you to
discuss these matters and to come to constructive.and agreeable conclusions. I know that the Marshall Islands program is, on the one hand, very
important to EY and, on the other hand, a source of great difficulty in
terms of both management and funding. We intend to do our best to
provide the support you need in the field, and I feel that we are all
working together on this very demanding task.
Very cordially yours,

Do
Donald C. Borg, M.D.
Chairman
