TELECON WHITTON/GLASS OF 3 JANUARY: HONG KONG/BRUNEI ASA
WE ARE FAXING YOU THE TEXT OF A DRAFT SPEECH BY SES FOR THE SIGNING CEREMONY ON 9 JANUARY. GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD SHOW THIS TO THE BRUNEIANS. ALTHOUGH THE PRESS RELEASE WILL GIVE THE MINISTER'S TITLE AND NAME IN FULL, WE THINK IT MORE APPROPRIATE FOR REFERENCE IN THE SPEECH TO BE MADE SIMPLY TO ''HIS EXCELLENCY, THE MINISTER OF COMMUNICATIONS FOR BRUNEI'' GRATEFUL FOR CONFIRMATION. IF THE BRUNEIANS HAVE A COPY OF THE MINISTER'S SPEECH AVAILABLE, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR THIS TO BE SENT TO US IN ADVANCE SO THAT A CHINESE TRANSLATION CAN BE PREPARED FOR ISSUE TO THE LOCAL MEDIA ON 9 JANUARY.
