MR BLAKER'S VISIT: SOVIET REACTION
1. THE RUSSIANS ARE NOT PLEASED WITH SOME OF MR BLAKER'S. OBSERVATIO ABOUT INDO CHINA DURING HIS SOUTH EAST ASIAN TOUR. THE DEPARTMENT WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR A TRANSCRIPT OF ANY RELEVANT EXCHANGES. AS I RECALL THERE WAS A SOVIET JOURNALIST AT MR BLAKER'S PRESS CONF- ERENCE IN SINGAPORE. GRATEFUL FOR TRANSCRIPT. IN MANILA I THINK IT MAY BE QUOTE FACE THE NATION UNQUOTE WHICH HAS INCURRED SOVIET DISPLEASURE. I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD PERSUADE THE FILIPINOS TO LET US HAVE A TRANSCRIPT OF THIS PROGRAMME
