PEKING TELNO 167: VISIT OF DR OWEN TO PEKING: CONVERSATION WITH WU XUEQIAN
1. I HOPE IT IS CLEAR TO WU AND THE CHINESE THAT DR OWEN WAS SPEAKING IN HIS PERSONAL CAPACITY. I WOULD NOT/NOT LIKE IT TO BE THOUGHT THAT THE IDEAS IN PARA 3A, B, OR C CAME WITH THE AUTHORITY OF THE HKG OR HMG.
2*
IT WOULD BE USEFUL IF THE AMBASSADOR COULD MAKE IT CLEAR THAT, IN SPEAKING TO WU, DR OWEN WAS PUTTING FORWARD HIS OWN IDEAS.
