3. I SPOKE THIS MORNING TO MEA DEPUTY SECRETARY GENERAL
(E ̃ONOMIC) ENCIK TALALLA, WHO SAID THAT HE WOULD PROBABLY
ACCOMPANY TAN SRI MANICKAVASAGAM. HE SAID THE MFA HOPED THAT YOU
WOULD BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM ON YOUR RETURN TO LONDON AND
THAT THE BRITISH SIDE COULD BE PROPERLY PREPARED IN TIME FOR
TAN SRI MANICKAVASAGAM'S PROPOSED VISIT. IF THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE, MFA WOULD FAVOUR A POSTPONEMENT, BUT HE STRESSED THAT THE PRIME
MINISTER WANTED AN EARLY SOLUTION.
