1.
WE FORESEE NO DIFFICULTY OF PRINCIPLE OVER YOUR PROPOSALS FOR VISITS TO CANADA, THOUGH WE SHALL NEED, NEARER THE TIME, TO EXPLAIN TO DEA THAT YOU WILL, ALBEIT WITH A GAP, BE VISITING OTTAWA AS WELL AS VANCOUVER. ONE POSSIBLE SNAG IS THAT THE FEDERAL ELECTIONS, WHICH MUST STILL EXPECT TO TAKE PLACE IN EARLY AUTUMN THIS YEAR, COULD BE HELD IN THE SPRING OF 1989. DEPENDING ON THE CHARACTER OF THE CAMPAIGN, IT MIGHT BE ADVISABLE TO ADJUST THE TIMING OF YOUR VISIT.
