YOUR TELNO 86 TO HONG KONG: VISIT OF DR DAVID OWEN TO CHINA
1. MY ONLY COMMITMENTS SO FAR ARE THE BURNS NIGHT SUPPER ON 2 FEBRUARY AND A BRIEFING SESSION WITH LORD SHARP SOMETIME ON 6 FEBRUARY. I SHOULD BE HAPPY TO OFFER DR OWEN A MEAL OR A DRINK WHILE HE IS HERE.
WE HAVE FOUND IN THE PAST THAT WHERE CHINESE MAKE THE
ARRANGEMENTS FOR A VISITOR FROM THE UK IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO FIND
TIME IN THE PROGRAMME.
2"
I SUGGEST THAT DR OWEN TELEPHONE IMMEDIATELY ON HIS ARRIVAL.
I HOPE THAT WE CAN FIX SOMETHING SUITABLE FOR EITHER LUNCHTIME OR EVENING ON 5 FEBRUARY.
3.
DO YOU HAVE ANY NOTION OF WHERE DR OWEN WILL BE STAYING
WHILE IN PEKING? IS HE TO BE ACCOMPANIED?
