Question: How much yearly precipitation, in millimeters, is received by the American state that Tito visited when he saw the organization that employs Sinha Basnayake?

Son of the prominent lawyer Hema Henry Basnayake, QC; he was educated at the Royal College, Colombo and graduated with a first class in law from the University of Oxford. After qualifying as a barrister he joined the UN as a Legal Officer in the International Trade Law Branch of the Office of Legal Affairs, eventually becoming its Director. Appointed as a President's Counsel by the government of Sri Lanka, he has served in many committees of the UN. <SEP> in 1966 an agreement with the vatican, fostered in part by the death in 1960 of anti-communist archbishop of zagreb aloysius stepinac and shifts in the church's approach to resisting communism originating in the second vatican council, accorded new freedom to the yugoslav roman catholic church, particularly to catechize and open seminaries. the agreement also eased tensions, which had prevented the naming of new bishops in yugoslavia since 1945. tito's new socialism met opposition from traditional communists culminating in conspiracy headed by aleksandar ranković. in the same year tito declared that communists must henceforth chart yugoslavia's course by the force of their arguments (implying an abandonment of leninist orthodoxy and development of liberal communism). the state security administration (udba) saw its power scaled back and its staff reduced to 5000. <SEP> Average winter snowfall between 1981 and 2010 has been 25.8 inches (66 cm), but this varies considerably from year to year. The city receives 49.9 inches (1,270 mm) of precipitation annually, which is fairly spread throughout the year. Hurricanes and tropical storms are rare in the New York area, but are not unheard of and always have the potential to strike the area. Hurricane Sandy brought a destructive storm surge to New York City on the evening of October 29, 2012, flooding numerous streets, tunnels, and subway lines in Lower Manhattan and other areas of the city and cutting off electricity in many parts of the city and its suburbs. The storm and its profound impacts have prompted the discussion of constructing seawalls and other coastal barriers around the shorelines of the city and the metropolitan area to minimize the risk of destructive consequences from another such event in the future. <SEP> on 7 april 1963, the country changed its official name to the socialist federal republic of yugoslavia. reforms encouraged private enterprise and greatly relaxed restrictions on freedom of speech and religious expression. tito subsequently went on a tour of the americas. in chile, two government ministers resigned over his visit to that country. in the autumn of 1960 tito met president dwight d. eisenhower at the united nations general assembly meeting. tito and eisenhower discussed a range of issues from arms control to economic development. when eisenhower remarked that yugoslavia's neutralism was "neutral on his side", tito replied that neutralism did not imply passivity but meant "not taking sides". <SEP> During a visit to the United Nations in the late 1970s emigrants shouted "Tito murderer" outside his New York hotel, for which he protested to United States authorities. Tito's visits to the United States avoided most of the Northeast due to large minorities of Yugoslav emigrants bitter about communism in Yugoslavia. Security for the state visits was usually high to keep him away from protesters, who would frequently burn the Yugoslav flag.
