Dear Secretary Gelleral:
When I visited the OAU Headquarters
1 st year, in your regrett d absence, I said
how much we hoped the OAU would respond positively to our invitation to send a representative to our Annual Meeting.
I nm repeating this now because I
fa 1 sure, particularly after my visit, that
tll interests of the lorld Bank and the OAU
are 1 rgely shared, and we would benefit from
tbe pr sence and contribution of your representative.
Sincerely.

Commodity Studies
In connection with the Board discussion of ,the Pearson Commission
recommendation on trade policy for primary products, I proposed that
the Bank undertake, on an experimental basis, broad analytical studies
of selected commodities that are of major importance to our developing
member countries. These studies would be designed to assist us both
in considering Bank financing and in formulating policy advice with
respect to the commodities in question. Two such studies wete under-taken and have now been completed. The study on tea has already been
distributed. Attached is the study on natural rubber for your information.

MEMORANDUM TO
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS AND ALTERNATES
A World Bank mission under the leadership of Mr. Cargill visited
East Pakistan during the first two weeks of June.
Mr. Cargill reported
the findings of this mission to the Government of Pakistan in Islamabad
and on June 21 to the members of the Pakistan Consortium in Paris.
Following its return to Washington, the mission prepared a written
report of its findings.
After reviewing the report we tentatively
decided not to distribute it because we believed this would serve no
additional purpose.
However, today a member of the press reported to
us that he understood the report was being suppressed.
We immediately
began distribution and all Directors and Alternates will receive the
report no later than Saturday, July 10.
