CONFIDENTIAL
FALKLANDS AND HONG KONG
10. SHULTZ MAY ASK YOU ABOUT THE FALKLANDS AND HONG KONG, THOUGH THE FALKLANDS PARTICULARLY COULD AWAIT DISCUSSION HERE: THERE WILL BE MUCH TO BE SAID FOR AVOIDING TOO HEAVY A PREOCCUPATION ON THIS FIRST OCCASION WITH THE WHOLE RANGE OF COLONIAL ISSUES, IMPORTANT AS THESE ARE.
BILATERAL ISSUES
11. ON THE ANTI-TRUST CASE AGAINST BRITISH AIRLINES AND THE ACTION WE HAVE TAKEN UNDER THE PROTECTION OF TRADING INTERESTS ACT,
WE ARE TELEGRAPHING SEPARATELY. NOTHING ELSE SEEMS WORTH RAISING ON 5 JULY. BUT WE STILL HAVE A HARD SLOG AHEAD ON THE EXPORT ADMINISTRATION ACT, ON WHICH THE ADMINISTRATION, DESPITE LOBBYING AT EVERY LEVEL, IS BEING EVEN LESS HELPFUL THEN THE CONGRESS.
I SHALL HAVE TO ASK YOU TO REINFORCE OUR EFFORTS WHEN YOU COME HERE.
