MR RENTON'S VISIT: PRESS
1. THE VISIT OF MR RENTON WILL BE OF CONSIDERABLE INTEREST TO THE BRITISH PRESS HERE, PARTICULARLY WHEN IT BECOMES KNOWN THAT HE WILL BE MEETING JI PENGFEI AS WELL AS WU XUEQIAN.
2. ALTHOUGH HE WILL BE GIVING A PRESS CONFERENCE IN HONG KONG,
1 RECOMMEND THAT MR RENTON SHOULD OFFER TO MEET THE BRITISH PRESS
AND THE NON-BRITISH AGENCIES FOR HALF AN HOUR. THE MOST APPROPRIATE TIME WOULD BE 1830 ON 20 JANUARY, AT THE END OF MR RENTON'S PROGRAMME IN PEKING (EXCEPT FOR THE RETURN DINNER).
