FOLLOWING FOR PRIVATE SECRETARY
HONG KONG TELNO 309 TO PEKING: HOWARD BAKER
1. THE VIEW OF HM EMBASSY WASHINGTON, WITH WHICH WE AGREE, IS THAT IN VIEW OF THE PRESSURE ON THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S PROGRAMME IT IS
NOT ESSENTIAL THAT HE SEES SENATOR BAKER.
2. BAKER IS AN IMPORTANT FIGURE AND MAY BE A FUTURE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BUT IS GIVING UP HIS SENATE SEAT THIS YEAR. HOWEVER IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL IF IT WERE POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO SEE THE
GOVERNOR OR A SENIOR MEMBER OF YOUR PARTY.
