After careful consultation with the various persons involved, I am wondering whether you could request a further explanation as we cannot make out what it is they want us to do with respect to the sums mentioned.
If something like the following message could be sent, we will be very glad to meet whateve:i; expenses are involved. ,.
"Visser 1 t Hooft, 1.1 AvPnne Chwnpel, Geneva
