FOLLOWING FOR D M D THOMAS ESQ CMG WASHINGTON
COPIES TO: A C GALSWORTHY ESQ PEKING
R JT MACLAREN POLITICAL ADVISER HONG KONG
CONSULTATIONS WITH THE AMERICANS ON ASIA
1. I AM SORRY THAT YOU HAVE NOT HAD AN EARLIER RESOONSE TO YOUR
TELELETTER OF 20 SEPTEMBER ABOUT MY POSSIBLE VISIT TO WASHINGTON
FOR CONSULTATIONS ON ASIA. THROUGH A MISHAP YOUR MESSAGE ONLY
FETCHED UP WITH ME WHEN I HAD RETURNED TO LONDON AFTER MY VISIT
TO THE FAR EAST.
2. THURSDAY 1 OR FRIDAY 2 DECEMBER WOULD SUIT ME FOR A VISIT TO
WASHINGTON AND I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO HAVE A MORE SUBSTANTIAL
EXCHANGE AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT THAN LAST YEAR.
3. THE US EMBASSY HERE HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH ME AND WE HAVE
ARRANGED FOR DICK SOLOMON TO CALL ON ME ON WEDNESDAY 2 NOVEMBER
TO HAVE A CHAT ABOUT CHINESE NEGOTIATING TACTICS.
4. IF WOLFOWITZ IS STILL FREE ON 1 AND 2 DECEMBER, PLEASE GO
AHEAD AND ARRANGE A SUITABLE PROGRAMME. IF MY DELAY IN REPLYING
HAS COST US THE DATES, I COULD POSSIBLY FIND TIME IN THE WEEK
BEGINNING 12 DECEMBER WHICH IS RELATIVELY FREE, BUT MUCH WOULD
DEPEND ON THE STATE OF PLAY IN THE HONG KONG NEGOTIATIONS AT THE
TIME.
