Copy, 11 A.-G.DER GERRESHEIMER /N G Düsseldorf - Gerresheim. Dr Vlastimil S t r a k a , Prague II., - Weberova Ul.C.ll. Dear Dr St r a K a . Unfortunately, I am only here today to answer your letter of 6.l., since I was travelling several days. I am very honoured by your proposal in your letter, but I am not in a position to accept it because of my commitments to Ger- reshimer Glashütte. In order to help you now, I have discussed the matter with Mr von Bülow and Dr de Ruyter and I can then inform you of the following: I trust your thoughts. We will then try here from us to summarize your thoughts, your thoughts - provided that the same appears feasible - into a usable patent. Thus, nothing would change in your relationship with our company or in your claim to our company. I do not need to give you sufficient proof of our will to push forward the production of foam glass, but I come once again to the request made in my letter of 30 January 1994 which I would like to repeat today.
