YOUR TELNO 424: PROPOSED INFORMAL TALKS ON CHINA
1.
WE HAVE SPOKEN TO THE ASIAN AFFAIRS BUREAU AND DISCOVERED THAT TADASHI IKEDA IS AWAY UNTIL MONDAY 23 AUGUST. UNTIL THEN ONE OF THE DEPUTY DIRECTORS GENERAL, TOSHIYUKI TAKANO, IS IN CHARGE. CAN OF COURSE PASS THE MESSAGE TO HIM IF YOU WISH BUT RECOMMEND THAT IF POSSIBLE IT WAITS UNTIL IKEDA RETURNS. I DOUBT IF TAKANO WILL BE PREPARED TO COMMIT HIS SUPERIOR IN HIS ABSENCE.
