1. Sales outlets and wholesalers average out at four weeks' supply of<br />
food stocks \rith the exception of fre^h and frozen fr^oits and V3getables and,<br />
also, fi-esh and frozen r.eats. The latter foods are in supply op.lj' for two<br />
to throe weeks and are brous^ht in r^stly by air freight. Pet and aninal<br />
foods inventories are adequate for 30 days.<br />

January 1, 1972, if received, are planned as norr:al rsquirer.onts for a period<br />
of three to four nonths. Tnis incoaing inventory includes pet and anir^l<br />
foods.<br />
3. ITiere is sorie concern about the possibility of the local IL'./U roing<br />
on strike around Cecenber 5, 1971. 3uch a strike vrauld close dcr..T. all dock<br />
operations and would be dicast.-ous for ;i?.v;aii unle!:s riassi\'e air lifts of<br />
food supplies could be rade to the islands of Kavaii. However, it does not<br />
seen likely that the local ILX' '..-ill strike before January 1, 1972, becau::?<br />
