4. TACTICS: PARA 6 OF TUR.
(A) AND (B) DO NOT SEEM VERY DIFFERENT. OUR PREFERENCE, SUBJECT TO THE CLIMATE OF JLG XIV, IS TO TAKE THE CHINESE INTO OUR CONFIDENCE IN GENERAL TERMS, WITHOUT GIVING ANY COMMITMENT TO INCORPORATE ALL THEIR POINTS INTO THE FINAL PACKAGE. SOME VAGUENESS ON TIMING MIGHT ALSO GIVE US MORE TACTICAL FLEXIBILITY, AT THE RISK OF LATER CHARGES OF BREACH OF GOOD FAITH. THE MORE DETAIL WE CAN DIVULGE OF OUR SCHEME AT AN EARLY DATE, THE BETTER THE CHANCES OF A HELPFUL CHINESE RESPONSE.
