and material resources of the Bangladesh nationals in the UK in order to make more forceful and productive their support to the struggle for national liberation carried on by the freedom-fighters and the Bangladesh Government.

2. The work of the Bangladesh Council must not be confused with the work of the Envoy of the Bangladesh Government. The two are complementary though different and distinct in many ways. This distinction should be clearly understood and appreciated and most carefully and conscientiously reflected in our attitudes and activities. Or else overlapping will take place resulting in conflicts and confusion.
3. The primary responsibility of the Bangladesh Council will be to mobilize the Bangladesh nationals in UK and in this field of harnessing national resources the Bangladesh Council shall enjoy full autonomy and the Bangladesh Council shall be consulted by the Bangladesh Government and its Envoy. However, in debasement of its fund and utilization of its manpower the Bangladesh Council shall seek guidance from the Bangladesh Government and its Envoy and in the field of international solidarity activities the Council shall act in accordance with the direction of the Bangladesh Government and its Envoy.
4. The primary responsibility of the office of the Envoy will be to function as the spokesman of the Bangladesh Government and initiate moves in the field of international solidarity activities both in the UK and in the countries easily approachable from London.
5. The two bodies shall join in the safe-keeping of the Bangladesh Fund in the UK and its proper disbursement.

B. NOW ABOUT THE FRAMEWORK FOR THE NATIONAL ORGANISATION

-Bangladesh Council

1. The most important assignment of the Bangladesh Council, overriding all other functions, will be to raise the maximum amount of financial contributions from the Bangladesh supporters. It should be remembered that the community as a whole has been raised to an unprecedented pitch of patriotism but the mechanism must be provided so that the organisation may reach them, and reach them regularly, once every month if not every week. Unless we are able to reach them. unless we are able to secure their active involvement in the fund-raising activities, it will not be possible to tap even 10 per cent of the potentialities of the community.
2. Therefore the basic committee-the local committee-should be constituted on the basis of concentration of our nationals because of residential or employment or professional requirement. Such grouping must not be too unwieldy, nor too widely disbursed. Both these factors will make personal and physical contact with the potential supporters difficult and.... This will be detrimental to the regular flow of communication and will undermine the collection of fund.
