I would be glad if you would kindly let me have the information before Wednesday's Meeting as to when these items are likely to be released, because you will realise it is diffi-cult to recommend that we go into production with P.III when there are so many items not released. Unless I have your assurance before Wednesday's Conference that these items will be released very quickly, you will agree with me that I am unable to make such a recommenda-tion that P.III. should go into production.
