159. With reference to paragraph 2 of my telegram “No. 15153 and [Page 26] my telephone conversation with Cissel54 today, we suggest that a redraft of paragraph 2–a, which was suggested as an alternative by Urdaneta, be considered:

“Rubber Reserve will be able to develop its activities, in the same manner as Caja, in all production zones, but it must inform the Commission in advance of the zones in which it intends to carry on its work. The Government will authorize the respective licenses.[”]55
