2. THE SENIOR MEMBER ASKED THAT THESE PAPERS BE SEEN BY THE S OF S
AND MR WHITELAW BEFORE I SAW THEM.
3. SIR S.Y. CHUNG WILL IN ANY CASE BE IN LONDON FROM MARCH 5 TO 11, AND THE QUESTION AROSE WHETHER HE AND POSSIBLY SOME OTHERS SHOULD ACCOMPANY ME IN MY CALLS. I ADVISED RATHER THAT SINCE THEY HAD BEEN SO RECENTLY THEY SHOULD AWAIT THE OUTCOME OF MY OWN VISIT BEFORE CONSIDERING WHAT ELSE THEY SHOULD DO, IF THEY WISHED RECORDING THEIR VIEWS IN WRITING MEANWHILE. I THINK THIS LETTER IS THE OUTCOME, AND THAT MY ADVICE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BUT I WILL TELEGRAPH TOMORROW THE ACTION AND AMENDMENTS PREFERRED BY EXCo.
