AGREED, NO REFERENCE SHOULD BE MADE TO THE AIR SERVICES AGREEMENT.
BUT WE COULD LIMIT FLIGHTS TO A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF OR A
SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME (PROBABLY THREE MONTHS). THIS WOULD
HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF RETAINING SOME POTENTIAL LEVERAGE, IN CASE NEGOTIATIONS OVER THE AIR SERVICES AGREEMENT ARE RESUMED. WE WOULD
ALSO MAKE A GENERAL COMMENT ABOUT THE DESIRABILITY OF
RECIPROCITY FOR BRITISH CARRIERS.
5. SUBJECT TO YOUR AND PEKING'S AGREEMENT WE PROPOSE TO RESPOND
TO FURTHER REQUESTS FOR NON-SCHEDULED FLIGHTS AS OUTLINED ABOVE.
