NEW PROBLEMS FOR YOU, PARTICULARLY IN THE FIELD OF INTER-BUREAUCRATIC

SWEETNESS AND LIGHT. WE ENJOIN YOU TO TAKE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARD THESE .

BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO ADJUSTING TO NOVEL AND INGENIOUS WORKING RELATIONSHIPS.
WE BELIEVE WE HAVE MAINTAINED AN AGGRESSIVE MORALE DESPITE THESE, SINCE
WE ITAVE TRIED TO REMAIN TARGET RATHER THAN MECHANISM ORIENTED. WHILE
THIS HAS FREQUENTLY OVER EXTENDED OUR PEOPLE, AND SPECIFICALLY YOU IN
VIETNAM ON MANY OCCASIONS, THE CONTRIBUTION TO OUR NATIONAL INTEREST
HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIAL AND APPRECIATED AT TOP LEVELS HERE. WE ARE CONVINCED
THAT THIS SITUATION WILL CONTINUE TO PREVAIL FROM THE VIETNAM STATION
AND ITS PERSONNEL.
