CONFIDENTIAL

I look forward to seeing your paper about the style and format of our Meetings. As you know, I would like to
see them become even more informal and businesslike. But
I recognise the problems and realise that the solution essentially lies with Heads of Government themselves. I
believe that the Chairman has a particularly crucial role to
play. We can rely on Mrs Gandhi to exercise the right mixture
of firmness and tact. In this connection, I welcome your
suggestion that the Meeting should conclude on the evening of
29 November.
Finally, I hope we can pursue with real determination our search for a shorter communique. We all seem to favour this
in principle, but it always eludes us in practice. I hope we may have more success on this occasion.
You
