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.
