1.
FOR HUM, HKD, FROM PEIRCE, DPA.
HKGO LONDON FOR COMMISSIONER.
YOUR TELNO. 1456 : MARTIN LEE
HAVE DISCUSSED THESE IDEAS WITH LEE, WHO WAS MOST GRATEFUL FOR THE TROUBLE TAKEN AT A BUSY TIME. HE AGREES WITH ALL THE SUGGESTIONS IN YOUR PARA. 3 (ON MPS, HKGO MAY WISH TO NOTE THAT LEE TOLD ME HE WAS NOT A FAN OF SIR P. BLAKER). HE WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO ACCEPT DAVID WILSON'S OFFER OF DRINKS, SUBJECT TO FLIGHT ARRANGEMENTS. HE WANTS TO BE BACK IN HONG KONG FOR LEGCO ON 30 JULY. HE WOULD ALSO BE INTERESTED IN A VISHT TO A NUCLEAR FACILITY IN BRITAIN (BUT NOT, FOR THE MOMENT, IN FRANCE). HE SAID THAT HE WOULD MAKE HIS OWN ARRANGEMENTS TO MEET UNOFFICIAL NUCLEAR EXPERTS (MEANING, ASSUME, CRITICS).
2. LEE WILL AMM TO ARRIVE IN LONDON ON 21 JULY. GRATEFUL TO KNOW WHOM HE SHOULD CONTACT ON ARRIVAL REGARDING HIS PROGRAMME.
3. A NOTE OF CAUTION. ALTHOUGH LEE HAS SAND THAT HE WANTS TO KEEP HIS DISCUSSIONS OF CONSTITUTIONAL MATTERS IN BRITAIN AND THE U.S. CONFIDENTIAL, AND HAS GOOD REASON TO DO SO, HE MUST BE EXPECTED TO REVEAL ON HIS RETURN THAT HE HAD VISITED A NUCLEAR FACILITY. HE MIGHT ALSO MENTION THAT HE HAD MET DAVID WILSON. IT WOULD BE FIMPORTANT HERE, ESPECIALLY WINS A VS OTHER UMELCO MEMBERS, THAT THE IMPRESSION SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN THAT LEE HAD BEEN SINGLED OUT FOR WIP TREATMENT BY HMG/HKG. ANY FACILITIES OFFERED HIM SHOULD BE EXACTLY WHAT WOULD BE DONE FOR ANY OTHER VIPSINTING UMELCO MEMBER WHO HAD ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE. HKGO WILL WISH TO BEAR THIS IN MIND *N CONSIDERING TO WHAT EXTENT THEY MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR HIM AND TO WHAT EXTENT THEY SIMPLY POSENT HIM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
