Sands reminds BR of his commitment to a talk in the new series "In Perspective". It was agreed that BR's talk, with its references to nuclear power and the threat of atomic war, should be broadcast at a time when its references are "as topical as possible". BR's talk has been publicized as the first in the series and can be recorded in London or Wales before the end of March. As the series was postponed, the old contract was cancelled. A new contract is forthcoming from the contract department.

BR's talk is "War and Peace in My Lifetime".
