4 . She facilities required with which I am concerned cau
be divided into two categories:
A. Territories where we have obtained general
facilities under respective Civil Air Agreements.
This comprises Nos.l, 3, 8 and 12.

facilities limited to areas Nos.5 ana ?
Kalba territory we have obtained no facilities
at all.
