PROJECT 77
Thank you for your letter of 9 August about progress on the
various stages of this project. I am sorry my commitments were
such that I was not able to see you during your recent stay in
London. I understand Alan Williams conveyed my apologies when
you met him. I am glad to hear your discussions with him and
Eric Varley and Edmund Dell were fruitful.
During his visit to Peking, Edmund Dell emphasised to the Chinese
Minister for Trade HMG's full support for your electrification
proposals which the Chinese are now considering.
Alan Williams has told me that he too is pleased with progress
on the two specific projects you mention and I trust there will
be a satisfactory outcome on the various points you raise. I
hope to be able to see you when you return to London in due course.
