our position regarding your proposal. I have asked Major General Guy Hairston,
Jr., the Air Force Director of Information, to keep me informed of progress and
to serve as liaison with you concerning the details for the celebration. I have
asked the Staff to review your proposal for the NATO/SSEATO visitors' program for nex year and we will be in touch on this in
