disagree cc in nyc : IMO, not "senior party officials"; either "party officials" or "senior members of the party" – EDIT: My thinking is that "fonctionnaires" – even hauts fonctionnaires – are not "senior officials." But I could be wrong... And I did not intend to offend you!

and what about the "haut" then ? That said, who am I to argue when it is all so trivial. Play among yourselves without me in future

"From" as a preposition = "du" in French; the question was about the term, not the syntax. I can see the original term was changed to match the chosen answer.
