Deputy Permanent Secretary, Abdullah
Sahat and Eames-Hughes-U.K.
Administrator, formerly Permanent
Secretary. [The Crossman] the chief
executive position in the Ministry) and
now secretary of a committee on the
needs of Higher Education. Mr. Satter
sat in. Dr. Dart opened by presenting
the reasons for our visit. All listened
attentively. When discussion got under
way Baki proved to be the most
talkative. Khan seemed inclined to
let him carry the ball. Khan is a slenky,
dark-skinned, older man, perhaps in
his late 50s. Baki is short, stocky,
light-skinned full-lipped, enigmatic
person. Sahat and Eames-Hughes
were silent.
Dart urged that the syllabus review
committee get some scientists to
work closely with it. At present only
non-scientists are involved except
for slight participation of scientists
as advisors.
Baki maintained that there could be
little change because of the syllabus
and seemed to feel change would have
to come from Cambridge.
