4. AS WE INTEND TO SEEK DIPLOMATIC PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES FOR OUR MEMBERS OF THE GROUP'S ANCILLARY STAFF N PEKING, WE MUST EXPECT THE CHINESE TO DO THE SAME FOR THEIR STAFF OUTSIDE CHINA.
**T WILL THEREFORE BE NECESSARY TO FIND SOME WAY OF PROVIDING T FOR THEM WHEN THE GROUP MEETS IN HONG KONG. IF IT IS HONG KONG'S
VIEW THAT THE BEST WAY WOULD BE TO ALLOW THE CHINESE STAFF TO BE
ATTACHED TO THE VISA OFFICE, IT WOULD SEEM TO ATTACH ALL ANCILLARY
STAFF ON OUR SIDE TEMPORARILY TO THE EMBASSY WHEN THE GROUP MEETS IN
PEKING, NOTWITHSTANDING PARAGRAPH 3 ABOVE.
