In reply to your telegram referring to Anthony Ward's letter I will outline the position. Our Association, as you will be aware, takes an active interest in many aspects of New Zealand society. The National Affairs Committee is at present investigating several fields of interest to us. One of these is the Task Force in Auckland.

Having seen the report presented by Acord, we were interested in gaining the other side of the story, one we felt you as a supporter of Task Force might be able to give. Anthony Hard's letter was on behalf of the Association - we trust you will be prepared to answer it.
