haggling with the Treasury. If you sit conclude that in the
circumstances it would be better to try and get the political
decisions made at OPD(K) we will ensure that the issue is put on
the agenda, and will produce a minute from Douglas Hurd to
Colleagues making our case. To prepare the ground, I would be
prepared to speak to the other members to explain to them as
fully as possible our case and to seek their support. You and
Douglas Hurd would also need to be armed with some degree of
flexibility for deployment at the meeting if we are to get a
positive ruling. We can consider this further once a decision
has been taken on the question OF OPDEK).
