Sharon, Anita [Kelley], Tim J [Jones]

-he hasn’t heard anything about the Stoen case but said that most judges usually take vacations July 15 to Sept 15
-told him that all the officers of the corporation are the directors and the secretary is the same (the names Mrs. Haniff has) – and told them him that the names Debbie T is working on, that’s what it’s for, that’s why they are the first R ones to do it (naturalization) / most haven’t been here long enough
-he has 5 names, Debbie T. [Touchette], Phillip B. [Blakey], Tommy J. [Johnson], Jan Wilsey, Paula Adams (he needs to know who is the Secretary and which is the registered office, Jonestown or Georgetown)
-regarding expediting the corporation, Debbie T. came in to sign the papers but she told him to wait for further orders so he doesn’t know when to proceed, he figures it would take about a week to complete it once he is given the go ahead

-re. push to legalize name of Jonestown, he says this would have to go to Cabinet, he thinks it would be a good idea and is down that way for names that are known by popular acclaim but weren’t named by the government/ Hoyte would be the one to take it to Cabinet but they have too many pressing things right now so it would have to wait

-re tax concession letter (I asked if we could have a copy of the letter he wrote requesting special consideration for JOnestown), he said Mr. Moore is expecting word today from the Income Tax Dept. sending the reply from the Ministry of Finance so we can go on with the issue so he said we can wait for his letter/ Mrs. Haniff will call me when the letter comes

-re Barker (why he doesn’t like us), he said that he didn’t think Barker and Hoyte were close but he did say that maybe Barker thinks Hoyte is still mad at us because of the letter in the paper, he said that if Hoyte does bring k our name to Cabinet to be legalized that would help us. He asked why we thought Barker didn’t like us/ we said he was cold whereas in the past he was friendly and that he had talked to us about law and order and people not being free there
-Clarke said that BArker is under Mingo so he hasn’t that much power

Hoyte: he said he talked to Hoyte but didn’t get the impression that he was still upset at us. He said that Hoyte gets hot and then forgets. Clarke said “I got the impression he has nothing against you. He wrongly got the impression that you were supplementing his work, filling in where he hadn’t done something. He wants us to continue our work, Hoyte does. If not urgent to see Hoyte right now Clarke said it should wait until next month after the referendum and then he’ll arrange an appointment for us
