Extensive mail, fax and telephone messages were received from the Asi Pacific region, throughout the Territory and from Australia wide, hence, a small selection of the correspondence has been included in the archives. Extract: ''Your support for the Italian community during your time as Premier has always been greatly appreciated and you will be remembered for your generous contribution to the Italian Club and sporting facilities''. Chief Minister Stone ran a very active sponsored visitation program for Heads of Mission (Ambassadors and High Commissioners) promoting the Territory's profile and so encourage investment and tourism.
