STOOD WERE DESIRABLE. HE WOULD REPORT BACK TO PEKING ACCORDINGLY. WE COULD THEN EXPECT SOME FORMAL RESPONSE FROM THE PEKING GOVERNMENT. THIS MIGHT BE EITHER THROUGH YOU, OR DIRECT TO US THROUGH THE PRC EMBASSY HERE. ROGERS SAID THAT WE HAD NO STRONG PREFERENCE FOR WHERE THE FURTHER EXCHANGES SHOULD TAKE PLACE, BUT SAID THAT IF THERE WERE TO BE ANY NEGOTIATIONS INVOLVING OTHER THAN INSIGNIFICANT CHANGES, HE WOULD PERSONALLY NEED TO BE INVOLVED AND WOULD BE PREPARED TO GO TO PEKING IF NECESSARY.
