THOMSON'S TELELETTER OF 17 JUNE : MR LUCE'S VISIT
REGISTRY
Action Taken
1. SEEN FROM HERE THERE SHOULD BE NO PROBLEMS OVER THE PROPOSED VISIT TO CANTON ON 25 SEPTEMBER. ALTHOUGH DP'S STRENGTH WILL BE REDUCED AS THEY ARE SUSPENDING DRILLING OPERATIONS FOR THE TYPHOON SEASON, THEY SHOULD STILL HAVE A NUMBER OF SENIOR MANAGERS IN CANTON ABLE TO BRIEF MR LUC ON THEIR OPERATIONS. I SHALL CONFIRM THIS DURING MY VISIT TO CANTON ON 27/23 JUNE. DUNLOP'S ARE LIKELY TO HAVE 5/6 PEOPLE IN THE TYRE FACTORY AT THAT TIME WORKING ON THE MODERNISATION PROJECT. A SUITABLE LONDON CONTACT TO DISCUSS ARRANGEMENTS WOULD BE:- ROY BLAKEMORE, DUNLOP INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS, TEL COVENTRY 661962.
2. WITH RESPECT TO SHENZHEN, IT IS A LONGISH JOURNEY FROM CANTON TO SHENZHEN (AROUND 3 HOURS WHETHER BY ROAD OR RAIL) BUT THIS STILL ALLOWS TIME FOR A BRIEFING, LUNCH AND TOUR OF SHENZHEN RETURNING TO HONG KONG LATE AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH A LONG DAY, MOST RECENT MISSIONS, INCLUDING THAT LED BY LORD YOUND, HAVE FOUND IT AN INTERESTING AND WORTHWHILE VISIT.
SIGNED:- A.J. SEATON.
