MY VISIT TO GDR 2-3 JULY
1.
Grateful if you would pass the following message to Fischer
as early as possible today:
Begins
As I am sure you will understand, recent events in China have
been a matter of particularly serious concern to the United
Kingdom because of our responsibilities for Hong Kong. I have
decided that I must make an early visit to Hong Kong and with
great regret I have concluded that the only practicable dates
would overlap with my planned visit to the GDR. I have been
much looking forward to the visit and very much hope that it will prove possible to reinstate it.
With my sincere apologies for any inconvenience.
[Yours etc]
