WHEN WE CAST A FLY ABOUT USE OF ICEM'S HONG KONG REPRESENTATIVE,
JAEGER REJECTED THE IDEA AT ONCE, ARGUING THAT ICEM'S 'CONNECTIONS''
WITH WASHINGTON WERE SO CLOSE THAT THEY WERE LIABLE TO BE
UNACCEPTABLE TO ONE OR MORE OF THE PARTIES CONCERNED.
4. JAEGER TOOK OPPORTUNITY TO REFER TO THE UN HIGH COMMISSIONER'S TELEGRAM TO YOU OF 28 MAY. ALTHOUGH SOME MONEY (AMOUNT STILL UNKNOWN) WAS EXPECTED FROM AMERICANS, IT WOULD NOT MEET ALL COSTS.
THE HIGH COMMISSIONER WAS ALSO ANXIOUS TO BRING IN OTHER GOVERNMENTS
AND NOT TO APPEAR TOO DEPENDENT ON THE AMERICANS.
