Jim:
I just wish to again raise the point that the Guyanese government wishes us to have a majority Guyanese board in the Guyana corporation. The only way we can do this and still control the corporation is for us to have a Guyanese citizen in our group. Phillip [Blakey] is now eligeable for Guyanese citizenship under their laws. Perhaps it would be worhtwhile for him to take up that citizenship rather than acquire a U.S. residencr visa. He would still be able to apply for that later, thaough the Guyanese status would undoubtedly weaken his case.

Gene – JJ says what about both:
1 As a British Citizen, is he entitled (on basis of Commonwealth states) to Guyanese citizenship with fewer complications than any of the rest there?
2 We will proceed with letters to Worrell, Clausen. Did you clear that letter?
Please respond
I don’t know about any of this. [illegible initials]
