YOUR TELNO 9 TO CANBERRA: VISIT TO AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND
1. MY SUCCESSOR DOES NOT ARRIVE IN WELLINGTON UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER. BUT SUBJECT TO HIS VIEWS, A VISIT AT THE TIME YOU PROPOSE WOULD BE WELCOME. NO PREFERENCE AS TO WHICH WEEK. THERE IS LIKELY TO BE A PARLIAMENTARY RECESS DURING MAY, BUT RELEVANT NEW ZEALAND MINISTERS SHOULD NONETHELESS BE AVAILABLE. GIVEN THE AIMS OUTLINED IN YOUR PARA 2, YOU SHOULD IF POSSIBLE ALSO SEE BUSINESS LEADERS IN AUCKLAND IN ADDITION TO CALLING ON MINISTERS IN WELLINGTON. THAT WOULD MEAN 2 WORKING DAYS IN NEW ZEALAND.
