The Matter of Sending Experts
To the Foreign Cultural Liaison Committee:
[Your] telegram [of] the 6th [has been] received. [After discussions with the] Malians, they still want our wood carving and ivory experts to come to Mali [for] work. [The] Mali Handicraft School [will have a school] break in June. [They] resume classes on 15 October [1964]. The Malian side requests our experts to arrive in Mali before October. [They] also hope [that the experts will] bring a French translator. Also, a jewelry expert is temporarily no longer requested to come.
