YOUR TELNO 540 AND HONG KONG TELNO 754: MR LUCE'S TRAVEL PLANS
1. H# AM CONTENT WITH THE PROPOSED NEW TIMING FOR MR LUCE'S VILSHIT. MR JOPLINING WILL BE IN CHINA FROM 4 NOVEMBER TO 10 NOVEMBER. THERE WOULD THEREFORE BE SOME OVERLAP OF THE TWO VISITS, BUT I THINK THAT THEWS WOULD BE MANAGEABLE AND ACCEPTABLE TO THE CHINESE. PERHAPS MR LUCE COULD TRAVEL TO PEKING BY BA ON THURSDAY 1 NOVEMBER.
2. WE NOW HAVE PROJECTED MINISTERIAL VISHITS FOR THE PERIOD BETWEEN EARLY SEPTEMBER AND THE END OF THE YEAR BY MR RIDLEY, MR PATTUIE,' MR WALKER, MR JOPLING AND MR LUCE, AS WELL AS THAT BY THE CDS. * THINK THAT THAT IS ABOUT AS MUCH AS THE CHINESE CIRCUIT COULD
BEAR.
3. APOLOGIES FOR MISSING YOUR DEADLINE.
