Dear Dr. Buechner

Our contracting officer has told me that he will need for his files written evidence that the study in Korea called for in your recent proposal has been cleared through State Department and local Korean channels. In effect, he wants evidence that you have authority to proceed with the study if and when a contract is signed.

Sincerely
