DRAFT PS LETTER TO

HOUSTON ECONOMIC SUMMIT: BILATERAL MEET ING
In your letter of 22 June, you said that the
Prime Minister would be content to see Mr Kaifu for a
bilateral during the Houston Summit, and would prefer the
July
morning of Monday of 9 June.
The Japanese have now asked whether it would be
possible for the bilateral to take place on Sunday 8 July.
I should be grateful for advice. If the Prime Minister
agrees, it would perhaps be possible to arrange a meeting
after the lunch with the Conservatives Abroad, at perhaps
2pm, in the Prime Minister's suite. The Japanese have
proposed the following subjects for discussion:
Exchange of views on topics to be taken at the Summit:
(i) assistance to the Soviet Union.
(ii) policy towards China
(iii) any other issues that the UK may wish to raise
Topics not to be discussed at the Summit:
(i) EC integration
(ii) bilateral UK/Japanese relations
ہے
We do not propose to recommend any additional items
for
the Prime Minister to raise with Mr Kaifu, in view of the
