Your note of 6 Ootobsr is a good peg for the letter I've been
westing to write pw.
The Oidnsns typhoon did real damage to installations on the
island 0 board estimates many tines the reported $10 million but our prospsstirs housing sits has enough natural protsotion that
no hare was dons buildings in the area. Operations builds oq will be
well anchored. Construction on the project will not begin until nut
Your propoasd plan for trsasfir of operations sounds sensible.
I hops you awe do it soaswhers nearly as s ooothly as 0 did
on the asst Coast.
I hops to send you and within the nest week a revised
tentative monitoring eaboduls based upon sovsrags agreements with
Frost. The revision is not radical, but Frosts present plan is to
rodeos his staff in Msditsrrsnan languages to on. or two *sob*
requesting therefore that we assume ooversp of losoow In Albania,'"
Arable, Bulgarians Greek, P-' ion, Ssrbo-Creat, Slevans, Turkish end
Yiddish, as well as of fereiga-language serviese of the &astern 'uropean
oountries for at-oss hoes servis es we are assuming responsibility. It
this agreement Is not ohangsd at the nut sari-saauomal oonferanee, it
vill mean some increase in linguist staff for Cyprus and a oritioal
question is how the wordage limitation an the C0 file saa be raised
to provide for it. The sasigceent of Moscow, weept in Albanian, and
Slovene if available, to Cyprus is particularly quwestionablo.
In any esse, you ono plan the transfer on the basis of present
oovera e, onsept as we sake spot ohanges in the agantime, and leaves
the development of new oovsrage and assumption of present BBC oovereges
in that order, until the new station is an its fi?
