Cc 2 { Telephone: 01-839 3267 SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL 36 CRAVEN STREET, LONDON WC2N 5NG, ENGLAND Chairman. Robin Hanbury-Tenison Director. Barbara Bentley Company Registration No 1056317 Registered Charity No 267444 10 July 1980. Dr Robert McNamara, President, The World Bank, 1818 H Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20433, U.S.A. Dear Sir, We are most alarmed at the news that the World Bank is con- sidering a major loan towards the cost of a hydro-electric scheme in Guyana. Our concern is motivated by the fact that, if the Upper Mazaruni site is selected for this project, it will destroy the homeland of the Akawaio Indian group. In this connection we have issued the enclosed press-release which we have circulated to a number of concerned organisations together with the document "The Damned" and a short update (also enclosed). We intend to campaign vigorously against the Upper Mazaruni site being chosen for this project and would respectfully urge you to give this matter your urgent attention. Yourf#faithfully, LA.
