OUR TELNO 2779 AND LETTER FROM BARRETT TO HO OF 27 SEPTEMBER: MS BARRETT'S VISIT TO HONG KONG
1. WE ARE HAPPY TO HEAR FROM MS BARRETT THAT SHE WILL BE ABLE TO VISIT HONG KONG AROUND THE TIME PROPOSED IN OUR TUR. WE WILL TRY TO ARRANGE TO COVER ALL HER SUGGESTIONS. THERE MAY BE DIFFICULTY HOWEVER IN ARRANGING A VISIT TO A VBP CAMP BECAUSE OF THE SHORT TIME AVAILABLE. WE HAVE, ON THE OTHER HAND, ALREADY ARRANGED A VISIT BY MR MICHAEL STONE OF HKD, FCO, TO TWO VBP CAMPS ON THURSDAY 11 OCTOBER. WE WONDER THEREFORE IF MS BARRETT WOULD CONSIDER ARRIVING A DAY EARLIER ON WEDNESDAY 10 OCTOBER SO THAT SHE COULD ALSO TAKE PART IN THE VISIT ON THURSDAY. GRATEFUL FOR AN EARLY RESPONSE TO THIS PROPOSAL.
2. SUBJECT TO THE ABOVE, A DETAILED PROGRAMME IS BEING WORKED OUT AND WILL BE CABLED TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. GRATEFUL IF MEANWHILE YOU COULD LET US HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL EXPENSES, BROKEN DOWN INTO THE MAJOR ITEMS OF TRAVEL, DAILY SUBSISTENCE ALLOWANCE, ETC., SO THAT WE CAN BUDGET FOR OUR SHARE OF IT. A BRIEF CURRICULUM VITAE OF MS BARRETT WOULD ALSO BE VERY HELPFUL TO THE VARIOUS OFFICIALS HERE WHO WILL BE RECEIVING MS BARRETT.
