ย
CONSIDERING WHETHER THERE ARE ADDITIONAL WAYS IN
WHICH WE COULD ENLIST THE SUPPORT OF THE CHINESE AUTHORITIES TO DETER
COAST HOPPERS. ONE WAY OF BACKING UP THE APPROACHES WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE IN PEKING, AND WHAT HAS BEEN SAID HERE TO NCNA, WOULD BE FOR ME TO SEND A PERSONAL LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR OF GUANGDONG, YE XUANPING.
2. GRATEFUL FOR YOUR AGREEMENT THAT I SHOULD DO SO. TEXT OF A
POSSIBLE MESSAGE IS IN MIFT.
