FOLLOWING PERSONAL FOR GOVERNOR FROM HUM,
HKD
23 JUN 1986
ZHOU NAN'S MEETING WITH MR RENTON, 9 JUNE: STRUCTURE OF
GOVERNMENT
1.
WE HAVE TELEGRAPHED SEPARATELY A RECORD OF ZHOU NAN'S
DISCUSSION WITH MR RENTON YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
Shen
AgB 2316!
2.
WE THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF MR RENTON COULD HAVE A
FURTHER WORD ABOUT IT WITH ZHOU NAN BEFORE THE LATTER LEAVES
THE AIM WOULD BE TWO-FOLD:
(A) TO CLARIFY HOW WE SEE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE
1987 REVIEW AND THE 1988 ELECTION:
(B) TO BUILD ON ZHOU NAN'S ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR VISIT TO
PEKING SO AS TO STEER THE CHINESE AWAY FROM DISCUSSION OF THE
STRUCTURE OF GOVERNMENT AT JLOIV.
