I am writing to you at the suggestion of the Foreign Office, and would very much like to draw your attention to the attached literature and other documents, dealing with our Third Biennial Congress on Architectural Conservation, due to be held next April at the London Headquarters of the International Maritime Organisation.
The Foreign Office, which has recently replaced UNESCO as the principal sponsor of next year's congress in London, has advised us to seek the support of Sir Yue-Kong Pao, CBE, in connection with the participation of the People's Republic of China at our related International Architectural Exhibition, due to be shown first in the London Docklands, and subsequently also in Hamburg and Toronto.
The P.R.C. has already entered the City of Peking for the Exhibition in question, to which it would like to add Chengde and Yangzhou. However, they are experiencing great difficulties in finding an additional £6,500 each, to cover the official participation-fee in hard currency for the last two mentioned cities.
It has been suggested that Sir Yue-Kong Pao may be prepared to come to the assistance of the relations we are trying hard..to build up with professional circles in China, following the attendance at last year's Congress in Switzerland of three senior representatives of the University of Tsinghua, and the decision the P.R.C. Government took some time ago to send an eight-man official delegation to next year's Congress in London.
I would greatly welcome the opportunity of meeting you in person, as a preliminary to contacting Sir Yue-Kong Pao, should you consider this necessary and advisable.
Board of Trustees: The Right Hon. Lord Duncan-Sandys (Chairman), Sir Hugh Casson (Deputy Chairman), William M. Dietel, Smt. Pupul Jayakar, Michael Middleton, Sir Gordon Pirie, The Right Hon. Geoffrey Rippon.
Secretary-General: John M. Calabrini
