Mr. Jones and Mr. Sellers seemed reasonably content with the position outlined in the above series of points. They felt it was, however, necessary for them to discuss them with Mr. Jordan this
orning and it was left that Mr. Jordan would get in touch with me The wished to argue the toss any further. Mr. Jones foresaw that lir Jordan might not be content with an arrangement under which the U.K. representative at the renewed talks had a virtual power of veto over Mr. Jordan's freedom of action in the negotiations.
I will report again when I hear from Mr. Jordan. In the mean- time, I have informed Mr. Wilford (FCO) of last night's events and the FCO stand ready to send a cable to Hong Kong when we know where we stand.
