Dear Wetmore: 
I was glad to get yours of 12th with a definite schedule 
as to your arrival. I requested the Tivoli reservation. Should anyone 
at the airport tell you the Tivoli is closed , tell them you are going 
there anyway. 
I enclose your RR passes and commissary authority cards. I am sure these 
will reach you before you leave.

The week starting Feb 19 we have the big conference here on corrosion 
and protection, with twenty of the best men in this field in the US par¬ 
ticipating. With our local men, we will have a registration of at least 
forty. We will go to BCI Tuesday 20th. 
I will also have to go to BCI Fri 23 and Sat 24. The 22nd we are to go 
to the Atlantic Side but I believe I will cut out that trip. So you phone 
me, either Balboa 2435 or 3538. 
Hope the hearings came out well and the Montreal trip \<rill be ok, as 
also the trip down. 
with warm regards 
sincerely yours 
Zetek
