At the suggestion of Chief, FBIS
Executive and Planning St aft, who spoke. to you
recently, I am forwarding a draft letter for Secretary
of State Haig's signature. A similar letter was
obtained on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of
FBIS and was a great morale booster, particularly
among our foreign national employees at our overseas
installations.
We are very appreciative of any assistance you
can render.
