tions to "clear the intent of the offer"

of a fixed minimum amount of finished
fertilisers and a clause setting forth a
fixed capitalization for the operating
company to be created in the event con
gress accepts the proposal to lease the
projects to Ford for 100 years.
Mr. Mayo said he would present the
modifications to the house military af
fairs committee as soon as arrangements
could be made for him to appear.

offer.
