The minutes of the November 4 h meeting say Problems about our next mailing: a) Letter; decided we would give a warm welcome, request speaking engagements for Khan (mention a fee?), and some confusion about whether financial statement should be included b) Khan's speech will be used in this mailing; Peter contact Khan to ask for his speech as well as to inform about the $100 we are giving FRELIMO.
