As you may know, Jay and I have discussed the question of the destruction of Bahai property on several recent occasions. I am now exploring means, as mentioned to you, of raising these issues at an appropriate level. The problem, as you know, is one that involves an approach which would, in the final analysis, improve the lot of those affected. Please bear with us in the meantime and I shall be in contact with you on this subject again in the very near future. Yours s Donald E. Fitzpatrick Special Assistant Political and General Assembly Affairs Dr. Victor de Araujo Ball International Community 866 United Nations Plaza New York, N.Y. 10017 BP00013 1
