Thank you bookbinder and mamyalynne, but what has it got to do with Sri Lanka?
I thought that you might ask that, so I looked it up in Wikipedia, but I couldn't find an explanation.
How about:

English = e
vehicles from Sri Lanka have the abbreviation = CL
anagram of cynical

put them all together and you get encyclical

The words "clutching" and "straw" spring to mind :-)

Thank you squarebear. Very clever thinking. I would never have come up with that but I think the clue is a bit vague.
I'm only guessing but that's the best way I could make it fit.
I believe square bear is correct, that's the same way I solved it. CL representing Ceylon whcih is now Sri Lanka.
