YOUR TELNO 09: VISIT TO NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA
.
1 IT WOULD PROBABLY BE POSSIBLE TO RESCHEDULE YOUR SPEECH TO THE INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS FOR THURSDAY 16 MAY. BUT AS YOUR PROGRAMME CURRENTLY STANDS, THE NEW ZEALANDERS HAVE ALSO FIXED CALLS ON PHILIP BURDON, MINISTER FOR TRADE NEGOTIATIONS AND ASSOCIATE MINISTER OF EXTERNAL RELATIONS AND TRADE, AND ON DON BRASH, GOVERNOR OF THE RESERVE BANK, FOR THE AFTERNOON OF WEDNESDAY 15 MAY. ACCORDING TO THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL RELATIONS AND TRADE, NEITHER OF THESE KEY PEOPLE WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO SEE YOU ON THE THURSDAY. SINCE IT SEEMS THAT MR DON MCKINNON, MINISTER OF EXTERNAL RELATIONS AND TRADE, WILL NOW BE OUT OF THE COUNTRY AT THE TIME YOU ARE HERE, IT IS ALL THE MORE IMPORTANT THAT YOU CALL ON BURDON.
2.
I THEREFORE HOPE THAT YOU WILL BEAR WITH THE VERY EARLY START ON 15 MAY AND CATCH QF47 AS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED. OTHERWISE YOU WILL MISS KEY PLAYERS. AND IF YOU COME IN TIME FOR THESE APPOINTMENTS THERE SEEMS LITTLE ADVANTAGE IN RESCHEDULING YOUR SPEECH.
