MR.
YOUR TELS NO' 219 AND 222: BRUNET NEGOTIATIONS
1. I HAVE TODAY SPOKEN TO ISA, WHO ARRIVED BACK ONLY YESTERDAY
FROM SINGAPORE. HE CONFIRMED THAT THE MESSAGES FROM THE MINISTER
AND FROM MR MACDONALD HAD NOW BEEN TRANSLATED, AND WAS PLEASED
TO RECEIVE MY OWN CONFIRMATION THAT THE MINISTER'S MESSAGE HAD
REACHED MR FLETCHER-COOKE ON 28 DECEMBER. ISA WAS CBVIOUSLY
VERY ANXIOUS INDEED ABOUT BRUNEI MECHANICS IN RELATION TO OUR
TIME SCALE, AND TOLD ME THAT MR FLETCHER-COOKE, WHOSE SERVICES: ARE CENTRAL TO THE REGIME, WAS BEING ASKED TO TRAVEL OUT.
2. IF WE ARE IN TOUCH WITH FLETCHER-COOKE, IT MIGHT BE USEFUL TO CHECK THE STATE OF PLAY ON HIS AFFAIRS, THE APPEAL AND SO
ON, AND IMPRESS URGENCY ON HIM TOO.
