2 , (4) Techinioal Library ; We are building up in Tokyo a modest technical library which we expect to be considerably developed when an engineer is added to the ABU staff in Tokyo. The Library comprises mainly reports, monographs and other similar material contributed by members and we would welcome contributions particularly of material that would be of interest to members in developing countries. You will receive a catalogue from Tokyo and additions to the Library are published in the Newsletter. (5) Annual Contribution : As you know NAEB's contribution for a full year would be SUS1000, i.e. 10 units at the existing value of the unit of contribution for associate members which is $US100. However, Clause 4 of Article 15 of the Statutes states that a member which joins during the course of a fiscal year "shall be liable for payment of one-twelfth of the annual subscription or contribution for each full calendar month still to run until the end of the said fiscal year." The ABU's fiscal year runs from July to June and as NAEB's application was accepted in October, it will be necessary for your organisation to pay only for 8 months in the current year, that is, $US666.66. As the subscriptions and contributions from members are used in meeting the running costs of our offices in Tokyo and Sydney, we ask some of our members to send their payments to Tokyo and some to Sydney, to avoid extra work for our staff in transferring funds. In the case I of NAEB, we would like the payment to be sent to the ABU's bank . j account in Sydney which iss / Asian Broadcasting Union, Account No. 800-283 I Park and Castlereagh Street Branch I The Commonwealth Trading Bank Sydney, Australia. You will already know that, as stated in the Statutes, the Headquarters of the ABU are in Tokyo but when I became Secretary-General in 1965 it was agreed that I should normally carry out my responsibilities from Sydney and our work is therefore divided between the two centres. My office in Sydney comprises myself, my Assistant, Miss Betty Cook and my secretary, Miss Susie Wan, to whom will shortly be added Mr Kang Chong Soo a journalist from South Korea who will be responsible for the ABU Newsletter and various other duties. In Tokyo we have our Honorary Deputy Secretary-General, Mr Ichiro Matsui, who was until his recent retirement one of NHK's most senior officers, two Assistants, Mr Roku Ito and Miss Fumie Mizuhara and a typist, Miss Gunji. As mentioned earlier, an engineer is to be added to the Tokyo staff as soon as possible. Copies of correspondence are exchanged regularly between the two offices so that we are constantly in touch with each other's work. With kind regards,
