WE SHALL CERTAINLY SPEAK TO THE UKAEA TO ENSURE THAT YOUR
TEAM IS GIVEN EVERY POSSIBLE ASSISTANCE WHEN THEY VISIT HARWELL.
THERE WILL BE A FURTHER MEETING CHAIRED BY BENJAMIN OF THE DTI
LATER THIS WEEK, PROBABLY ON 31 JULY, TO REVIEW THE GENERAL
POSITION OVER DAYA BAY. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF BY THEN YOU HAD
FORMALLY NOTIFIED UKAEA (WITH COPIES TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS) OF
YOUR INTENTION TO SEND A TEAM, AND SUGGESTED WHAT TIMING WOULD SUIT
YOU BEST. IT WOULD ALSO BE HELPFUL TO HAVE BY THEN THE
ASSESSMENT OF YOUR OVERALL STRATEGY AND TACTICS AND THE POSSIBLE
NEW PROPOSALS FORESHADOWED IN THE SECOND PARA OF YOUR TELNO
2433.
5.
THE DTI ARE REPLYING SEPARATELY, IN TERMS AGREED WITH
OURSELVES, TO YOUR TELNO 168 TO PEKING. TO AVOID ANY POSSIBLE
MISUNDERSTANDING IT IS HELPFUL IF TELEGRAMS OF THIS SORT,
PROPOSING ACTION BY PEKING, ARE ADDRESSED TO OURSELVES SO THAT WE
CAN ISSUE THE NECESSARY INSTRUCTIONS TO PEKING.
