In speaking to Lambo this morning about the visit to Senegal in February he
indicated that you should be spared the ground-clearing effort involved, and be asked
for help subsequently if the visit proves to be worthwhile. In preliminary enquiries
I have made about past similar surveys in Senegal I find a lot of politics involved, as
well as duplication. I therefore have serious doubts about the utility of the venture.

Yours,
