In Re: Our File No. 280

Dear Mr. Mann:

I enjoyed our brief meeting of the 25th.

It is a real pleasure to meet [a]concerned, constructive person such as yourself.

The plan we developed for the joint utilization of the proposed aircraft by Peoples Temple and Guyana Airways will serve the interests of all concerned. We very much appreciate your willingness to go to bat for us to obtain government approval. Perhaps I had omitted to tell you that the Permanent Secretary of Agriculture had already initiated the approval of his ministry.

Of course, we are anxious to proceed with the project. I expect that Mr. [Norman] Ijames will come down to make detailed arrangements with Guyana Airways when we are informed that the matter has reached that stage. Paula [Paula Adams] will file trade applications upon your service.

I again would like to indicate to you our appreciation for your assistance. It is persons such as yourself who add inspiration to our efforts, and support our convictions in the ultimate success of our project.

Very truly yours,
/s/ Eugene Chaikin
