Dear Cornie,

 

You wrote on this date, in what was otherwise a good letter outlining your
middle of the road position and philosophy on transport in the Global South,
one thing that really stuck in my craw. . . 

 

·        "The VCs in the report are by FIA Foundation and not FIA."

 

That's an insider joke, right?

 

Kind regards/

PS. Perhaps I should mention that over the last year I have spoken on
several occasions about this with representatives of the UNEP (
<http://www.fiafoundation.org/news/archive/2010/Pages/SharetheRoadcallbyFIAF
oundationandUNEP.aspx> 'Share the Road') and WHO ('Road Safety Fund ')
cooperative programs, as well as with representatives of the FIA as well.
And they all assured me exactly and most vigorously as you have today.  So
why is it that my brow is still mightily furrowed?
