thi AGREE YOUR ASSESSMENT MIN PARAGRAPH 3 OF TUR. ONE OF THE PUBLIC'S MAJOR WORRIES HERE IS THAT THE CHINESE, HOWEVER WELL TRAINED
AND SUPERVISED, ARE NOT CAPABLE OF OPERATING A NUCLEAR POWER STATION SAFELY.
2. AS REGARDS FRAMATOME'S PROBLEMS (PARAGRAPHS 5 AND 6 OF TUR), HT US 4MPORTANT THAT THEY SHOULD NOT LET THEIR PUBLIC RELATIONS ACTIVITIES (HN HONG KONG GO OFF HALF COCK. WE SUGGEST FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION THAT THEY SHOULD MAKE THEIR APPROACH TO UMELCO AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE, TAKING EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO ENSURE THAT THE KIN VIITATIHON HIS GIVEN WIDE PUBLICITY IN HONG KONG. AT THE SAME THOME, AND AS AN ADJUNCT TO THE UMELCO VISIT, THERE SHOULD BE A PARALLEL
INVITATION TO THE HONG KONG PRESS CORPS TO AN EXPOSITION IN
FRANCE. THIS WILL ALL NEED VERY CAREFUL LOGISTICAL HANDLING BY
FRAMATOME BOTH HERE AND IN FRANCE. BUT WITH LUCK MT SHOULD PAY
DODENDS. HIT SEEMS TO US THAT THE FRENCH CONSUL-GENERAL HERE HAS
A USEFUL ROLE TO PLAY IN ORGANISING THE VINSHIT.
