一部分人会从邀请名单中删除，名单也会越来越短，这样做还常常会删除负责审查工作的外交官的私人好友，删掉那些外交官们曾经在思想、政治或物质上无私援助过的人们。
Lists will be shortened and deletions made, and this will frequently entail eliminating even good personal friends of the diplomats in charge of the screening, people whom they have given various forms of intellectual, political, or material assistance.
