objection, please speak to the Chinese mission at
an appropriate level and explain that while we can
accept their formula it does pose practical
difficulties which we believe would be avoided by
the use of our term. You could draw on paragraph 2
of Hong Kong telegram under reference and if
on
necessary at the point in the first sentence of
paragraph 4. You should emphasise that we have
no desire to make an issue of this but for practical
reasons it is desirable to reach an amicable solution
as soon as possible.
3. We have briefed our delegation to the Narcotics
meeting to say, if necessary, that the matter is
still under discussion between us, the Chinese and
the Secretariat.
