HEADS OF MISSION MEETING IN BANGKOK

RICHARD HOARE'S TELELETTER HKK 240/1 OF 13 OCTOBER, WHICH WAS IN RESPONSE TO AN ENQUIRY WHICH I ASKED RICHARD MARGOLIS TO MAKE, SAID THAT IT HAD BEEN SUGGESTED** IN THE FCO THAT I MIGHT ATTEND A HEADS OF MISSION MEETING WHICH MAY TAKC
PLACE IN BANGKOK IN MID-DECEMBER.
2. I REALISE THAT THIS PLAN IS BY NO MEANS FIRM BUT I THOUGHT IT RIGHT TO HAVE A WORD WITH THE GOVERNOR. HE DOES NOT THINK HE WOULD BE ABLE TO SPARE ME TO GO TO BANGKOK, PARTICULARLY AS THE CHIEF GECRETARY WILL BE ON LEAVE AT THE TIME. SO I
SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD EXPLAIN THE CIRCUMSTANCES TO THOSE CONCERNED WITH PLANNING THE CONFERENCE AND DISCOURAGE
THEM FROM PURSUING THE IDEA OF INVITING ME.
SIGNED: R J T MCLAREN.
