FOLLOWING PERSONAL FOR GOVERNOR FROM HUM, HKD
MY TELNO 1U00: EXCHANGES WITH THE CHINESE ON THE STRUCTURE OF
GOVERNMENT
1.
WE ARE ANXIOUS TO BEGIN WORK ON THE BRIEFING FOR MP PENTON'S DISCUSSION WITH ZHOU NAN ON 9 JUNE. AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT WILL BE THE LINE THAT MP PENTON SHOULD TAKE IF ZHOU NAN GÍVES A PRELIMINARY PEACTION TO OUR THREE PAPERS ON CONVERGENCE, AND IN PARTICULAR IF ZHOU NAN ECHOES KE ZAISHUO'S SUGGESTION OF A
DISCUSSION AT JLG IV.
AT PRESENT WE ENVISAGE THAT OUR PESPONSE SHOULD INCLUDE
2.
(A)
A NEGATIVE ASPECT. THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST DISCUSSION IN
(B)
3.
THE JLG AS THESE WERE DEPLOYED BY WILSON WITH KE
ZAISHUO :
A POSITIVE ASPECT. THE SUGGESTION THAT SUCH DETAILED MATTERS NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AT GREATER LENGTH THAN THE JLG TIMETABLE WOULD PERMIT, AND BETWEEN THOSE WITH THE CLOSEST UNDERSTANDING OF THE ISSUES INVOLVED. WE MIGHT THEN FLOAT THE IDEA OF YOUR VISITING PEKING IN EARLY
SEPTEMBER.
IT MAY BE HOWEVER THAT THE IDEAS YOU ARE WORKING UP (YOUR TELNO 1632, PAPA 4) WOULD CUT ACROSS THIS LINE. IT WOULD BE VERY
HELPFUL IF YOU COULD LET US HAVE THESE DESKBY 031000Z.
