Excellency, I bava the honour, OB "behalf of Secretary-General U fhant who is abroad, to refer to your letter to him of April k, 1967, extending an invitation to him in the name of the , General Anastasio Somoaa, to attend the inaugural ceremonies in Jfenagua o» 8fey 1, 1967, I nave conveyed this invitation to the Secretary-General and have been instructed by hid to make this reply to your letter. fhe 0ecretary-General very much appreciates this gracious invitation and wishes you to convey his great appreciation to the President* He regrets very much his inability to accept the invita- tion for the reason that the Special Session of the Seneral Assembly will "be underway at that time, requiring hie constant presence here. Moreover, as a matter "both of principle and practice, the Seeretftry- Seneral as a rule foregoes acceptance of invitations to functions of an essentially domestic political nature* Accept, Hxcellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

April 4-, 1967

Excellency: In the name of the President of Nicaragua, General Anastasio Somoza, I have the Honour of extending to you a very special invitation to attend the ceremonies of his inauguration that will take place in on May 1, 196?. Several heads of state, many foreign minis- ters and over two score of delegations from the free world are expected; however my Government will consider your atten dance as a very special privilege, since this will be the first time that a Secretary General of the United Nations visits Central America.

In view of the remarkable development of our Common Market and its ties with the United Nations deve_ lopment programs, and to the fact that all the Presidents of Central American Republics will be presents, I can assure you, Excellency, that your presence in Managua will be profoundly effective and will florish in good will and higher regard for the United Nations in Central America. Allow me to enclose the schedule of the cere- monies for the Inauguration, and to assure to you that I will be delighted to make the pertinent arrangements for the trans portation and lodging for Your Excellency, Assistants and en- tourage at your earliest convenience. Sir, I know how busy you are but I trust that at least the people of Nicaragua may re- joice with your presence from April the 30th to May the 2nd. I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assurances of my highest consideration and appreciation.
