1.
THIS IS GOOD NEWS. SUBJECT TO HONG KONG'S VIEWS, YOU
SHOULD NOW REPORT TO THE CHINESE THE RESPONSE WE RECEIVED FROM
THE CCC, SEEK CONFIRMATION THAT THE CHINESE RECEIVED THE SAME
ADVICE AND SUGGEST THAT WE SHOULD AGREE TO THE COURSE OF ACTION
PROPOSED BY DICKERSON AND MACDONALD.

BRUSSELS. IT IS NOT CLEAR FROM TUR AT WHAT POINT THE
SECRETARIAT BELIEVE WE SHOULD SUBMIT FORMAL DECLARATIONS.
PRESUMABLY THIS SHOULD BE DONE WHEN DICKERSON AND MACDONALD HAVE
REPORTED PROGRESS TO US AFTER THEIR DISCUSSIONS IN THE POLICY
COMMISSION, BUT BEFORE THE COUNCIL CONSIDERS THE SUBJECT. IN
WHICH CASE SHOULD THE BHC AND CHINESE EMBASSY IN OTTAWA BE
BROUGHT INTO THE ACT TO SEND THE NOTES TO THE SG WHILE HE IS
THERE? OR DOES PROTOCOL DICTATE THAT THE NOTES SHOULD ISSUE FROM
MISSIONS IN BRUSSELS? GRATEFUL FOR YOUR VIEWS, AFTER YOU HAVE
CHECKED WITH THE CCC IF NECESSARY.
