I agree that it would be sensible to sound out the
14Chinese informally on Qian Qichen's availability on 9 July.
15Please therefore take action with the Chinese as you propose in 16para 4 of first TUR. If your approach is made ostensibly on your 170wn initiative, and points forward to a review of the position 18after the sixth round of talks, this should help establish a 19helpful conditionality while minimising the risks.

I am also content with the proposed tactics for the sixth ¿¿round, as set out in second TUR, and agree that it would be
sensible to fit in a seventh round between 1 and 9 July if this 23 24 can be arranged.
