Notes and topics

Islam represents Ek Jhank Paira, a nonpolitical group of peace seekers.

Islam asks Schoenman to "convey our congratulations to Bertrand Russell on his 95th [sic] birthday", and encloses clippings from Sangbad concerning BR's "contribution towards the attainment of world peace."

Islam asks Schoenman for "directions as to our future programmes", and "recent literature" concerning the BRPF. Islam adds, "Our office is purely temporary—and occasional."

Enclosed are the following:

Document .180467, a one-page document, PD, in Urdu.
Document .180468, a one-page document, PD, in Urdu. The clipping shows a caricature of BR behind an individual making a speech.

Also present is a clipping from the Pakistan Observer, document .180469, and an accompanying note, document .180469. The note states that the Pakistan Observer "gave very poor coverage, and improperly called us a 'cultural' organization."
