YOUR TELNO 178 AND PEKING TELNO 953: JLG SUBJECT CHECKLIST
1. IN THE LIGHT OF THE ADVICE IN TURS AND HONG KONG'S COMMENTS IN THEIR TELNO 1839, MINISTERS HAVE AGREED THAT:
(A) IN ADVANCE OF MR MAUDE'S VISIT, YOU SHOULD
HAND OVER THE LIST TO GUO FENGMIN DURING ONE
OF YOUR REGULAR MEETINGS. YOU SHOULD, AS YOU SUGGEST IN PARA 4 OF YOUR TUR, STRESS THAT THIS IS A FORECAST OF ROUTINE JLG BUSINESS IN THE COMING YEAR.
(B) DURING HIS VISIT, MR MAUDE WILL NOT/NOT HAND OVER A LIST BUT WILL REFER TO THE LIST GIVEN TO GUO AS AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE WORK WHICH JLG NEEDS TO TACKLE AND IN THE CONTEXT OF HIS WIDER PITCH FOR BETTER COOPERATION.
(C) MR MAUDE WILL THEN CONCENTRATE ON PARTICULAR JLG SUBJECTS ON WHICH PROGRESS HAS BEEN BLOCKED AND WHICH CAUSE US CONCERN IN ORDER TO ILLUSTRATE HIS POINT FURTHER. WE WOULD SUGGEST THAT THESE INCLUDE AIR SERVICES AND COURT OF FINAL APPEAL. BUT WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR ANY FURTHER SUGGESTIONS.
2. WE THINK THAT THIS PROCEDURE AVOIDS THE DIFFICULTIES WHICH YOU HAVE HIGHLIGHTED AND ACHIEVES OUR OBJECTIVE OF KEEPING THE PRESSURE UP ON THE CHINESE FOR PROGRESS IN THE JLG.
3. WE AWAIT HONG KONG'S COMMENTS ON THE DETAIL OF THE LIST (PARA 6 OF YOUR TUR REFERS) BEFORE YOU TAKE ACTION.
