2. I should be grateful if Departments would supply draft contributions/briefs as set out in the list below. Because of the Easter break and the Prime Minister's and Secretary of State's absences abroad, I am afraid we have to set early deadlines: close of play on 13 March for the Prime Ministerial letter and close of play on 16 March for the Secretary of State's briefs. There may of course be a need for updating immediately before the visit. Given the number of topics covered, briefs should be kept as short as possible, with background in particular kept to a minimum. should be sent to George Edgar in W101 (270 2421).

Contributions
I should be grateful if Departments would provide_WP discs. We already have discs for the briefing prepared for the visit originally scheduled for December: where changes to the briefing are only minor, we should be happy to amend our own discs if Departments would indicate where alterations are
necessary.

Briefs should be titled as follows:
