for the information which had been forwarded to him, but said
the Dominican Republic would not send a representative
because of the country's current financial problems. He said
that he had never missed an IAEA meeting, but that the GODR
lacked funds to send him and was restricting official travel.
He asked if outside financing were possible; we replied
that, even if it were available, the short lead time would
preclude it.
