FOR ROLAND CHALLIS, BBC:
I HAVE DECIDED TO RETIRE ON 3 JANUARY. THIS COMES AFTER 33
YEARS WITH THE U.S. GOVERNMENT AND HAS BEEN IN MY MIND FOR SOME
TIME. MY SUCCESSOR IS EXPECTED TO BE NAMED IN THE NEAR FUTURE,
POSSIBLY NEXT WEEK.
THE FBIS RELATIONSHIP WITH BBC HAS ALWAYS HELD A SPECIAL
MEANING FOR ME, GOING BACK TO MY TOUR AT CAVERSHAM IN 1956-57. I
WISH YOU AND ALL YOUR COLLEAGUES AT BBC MONITORING SERVICE MY BEST
WISHES FOR THE FUTURE. I WILL CERTAINLY MISS THE ANNUAL
GET-TOGETHERS AND THE SMOOTH RELATIONSHIP WE AND THE BBC HAVE
ALWAYS ENJOYED. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL.
