If, however, you would find it helpful Major Central Fursdon, who is due very shortly to visit. Lusaka, could call at Dar to brief you on the uiilit.-iry aspects of any possible help to Ta"i.2ania, anJ he could also, of you judged it helpful; c.nd the Tan^anians so wished, talk to them. But if you wish to propose such a visit co the President you should make it clear that it carries no implications that we could necessarily provide any particular assistance. General Fursdon is the Director, Military Assistance Office; the service his office offers is of a consultancy and advisory nature across the whole anny spectrum of activity, which includes advice to overseas countries on management, roles and organisation, training and equipment."
