GRATEFUL FOR YOUR FULL REPORT OF DRAPER'S VISIT
see (6)
AND FOR CONFIRMATION OF DATE FOR ASA TALKS (TO START ON 18 MAY).
PARAGRAPH 3(1) IS ESPECIALLY GOOD NEWS AND APPEARS TO BE COVERED BY CAAC'S NOTAM NO 16 OF 6 APRIL,
2. DRAPER SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN CARRIED AWAY BY ENTHUSIASM, BECAUSE IT WAS OUR CLEAR UNDERSTANDING THAT HE WOULD MAKE ONLY
A COURTESY VISIT. HE DID NOT HAVE THE BROAD REMIT FROM ROGERS
TO WHICH HE IN FACT WORKED, BUT DEFINED AREAS.
3. WE ONLY HOPE THAT HE HAS NOT MUDDIED THE WATERS FOR THE UK NEGOTIATING TEAM,
OWEN
