BR agrees to the "What's the Idea?" discussion in principle, but cannot manage availability before he leaves for Wales as he is "completely filled with other engagements". BR wishes to take the month of January for rest and to catch up on correspondence he has neglected. BR makes himself available in February. The suggested participants in the programme are both "very whole-hearted opponents of the policy that I favour." BR feels that one such opponent "should suffice". If two participants are required BR suggests that at least one "should not be a pronounced opponent of the point of view that I advocate."
