Addressed to Commonwealth Office telegram No. 1275 of 21
August, Repeated for information to Peking and Saving to Washington.
(136)
Your telegram No. 1675: United States Ships.
Clearance has now been requested for nuclear-powered attack submarine "Scamp" for visit to Hong Kong from 24 29 September. Monitoring team is available. I propose to raise no objection, but specifically to make the proviso that should "Barb"s visit ending 12 September have occasioned very adverse publicity (which is unlikely) I must reserve the right to say no.
O.A.G.
Commonwealth Office please pass Saving to Washington.
