1. I ASSUME KUALA LUMPUR HAS BEEN DELIBERATELY DROPPED FROM
COLUMN 3 OF U.K ROUTE 4 BUT I HAVE SEEN NO EXCHANGE OF TELEGRAMS
WITH BRUNEI AMENDING PARA.8 OF CMU OF 11 JANUARY 1973 WHOSE
CONTINUING VALIDITY WAS CONFIRMED IN PARA.6 OF THE CMU OF 25TH NOVEMBER 1977. AS LATE AS MAY 1978 TALKS, MALAYSIANS STILL RECOGNISED THAT RBA WAS ENTITLED TO THREE POINTS IN MALAYSIA
AND TABLED THEIR VIEW (SEE PARA.4 OF MINUTES OF MEETING ON
24TH MAY) IN THEIR DRAFT OF A U.K ROUTE 4 AT APPENDIX 2 TO
ANNEX C OF THE U.K RECORD OF THE MAY 1978 TALKS.
2. I HAVE OFFERED NO COMMENT ON B.A AND CPA ROUTES BECAUSE
THEY HAVE BEEN CONSULTED AND CAN LOOK AFTER THEMSELVES. HOWEVER, BRUNEI IS VERY MUCH ON ITS OWN AND, AGAINST POSSIBLE BRUNEI AND
REA QUERIES, COULD YOU PLEASE CLARIFY SITUATION.
