4. COMMENT. ALTHOUGH NEWKIRK AND KLEIN WERE GRATEFUL FOR THE FURTHER BRIEFING, THEY WERE GUARDED IN THEIR COMMENTS ON THE ACCEPTABILITY OF THE ARTICLE XXVI (5) (C) APPROACH WE HAD OUTLINED. WE THEREFORE PROPOSE TO MAKE A SEPARATE APPROACH TO STATE NOT ONLY TO EMPHASISE THE POLITICAL FACTORS BUT ALSO TO TAKE THEM THROUGH THE SAME GATT CONSIDERATIONS. WE CAN THEN CONSIDER IN THE LIGHT OF THAT DISCUSSION AND HO'S MEETING WITH YEUTTER, WHETHER IT WOULD BE WORTH MAKING A FURTHER HIGH LEVEL APPROACH TO MIKE SMITH.
