SECRETARY OF STATE'S VISIT
1. I TAKE POINTS IN YOUR PARA 1. WE HAVE AMENDED PARA 5 OF
BRIEF AS YOU SUGGEST (SEE FCO TELEGRAM NUMBER 494 TO PEKING).
I SUGGEST THAT WE COULD DISCUSS ANY CHANGES TO PARA 1 IN HONG
KONG AND IF NECESSARY IN PEKING. AS WORDED AT PRESENT I DO NOT

ABOUT THE FUTURE. THIS WAS THE UNDERSTANDING AT OUR 8 AUGUST
MEETING.
2. WE HAVE MADE CHANGES ON LINES OF YOUR PARA 2.
3. WE HAVE INCLUDED IN THE ESSENTIAL FACTS OF THE BRIEF AN
OBJECTIVES SECTION WHICH SHOULD MEET SOME OF THE PROBLEMS MEN-
TIONED IN YOUR PARA 3. THE 'POINTS TO MAKE' MUST BE FLEXIBLE
TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF THE WAY DISCUSSION WITH THE CHINESE GOES.
WE HAVE MENTIONED FORMATION OF NEW CHINESE GOVERNMENT AS A FACTOR
IN THE BRIEF.
