As always, they should be as short as possible, particularly the Points to Make. Briefs should be tailored as far as possible to the interlocutor: where appropriate for Folder C subjects separate Points to Make should be given for use in each country. They should be laid out on the lines of the attached model, with Brief Numbers left blank. Briefs, in final form, should be sent to SEAD and FED as follows:
FOLDER A
FOLDER B
FOLDER C

to Mr Roberts, SEAD, to arrive by close of play on Thursday, 9 January.
to Mr Ashton, FED, to arrive by close of play on Thursday 9 January (and copied to Mr Roberts, SEAD).
Please address any queries to Mr Ashton (233 8192) or Mr Roberts (233 4660). It would be helpful to have early advance warning of any subjects (eg possibly Guangdong nuclear project) for which important developments are expected between 10 and 18 January and for which it may therefore be sensible to extend the deadline.
