Someday soon let's have a victory dinnerS As we agreed Saturday, the crux of the whole issue is in paragraph 13 of the Symmarx gf the Situation which I sent you on that day. It reads as follows, 1tTherefore, the University is respectfully requesting that Law 160 be considered as inapplicable to any private university until such time as a more workable and reasonable law may be devised.rt On thinking the matter over, I believe I have struck upon a much better way to say the satGo t:dng, and I am proposing it to you for your consideration, in both Arabie and English, as follows: Until such time as a la~ governing and facilitating private universities in the ynIted Arab~epu~lic Is promulgated. Law 160 is to be considered inapplicable to institutionn of this level. (Arabic translation followed) Boping to have word from you very soon about seeing the President of the Republio ..
