NUMBER OF DISTINGUISHED CANADIANS, NOTABLY C.D. HOWE. MENTIONED THAT TANG OWNS A LAUNCH.) HE ALSO THOUGHT THE BENSONS WOULD ENJOY A VISIT TO THE MONASTERY AT LANTAS.
3. WE TRUST YOU WILL FEEL ABLE TO LAY ON A PROGRAMME FOR
MR. BENSON ON THE LINES SUGGESTED. PRESUMABLY, AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, ANY SORT OF SIGHTSEEING PROGRAMME WOULD HAVE TO BE FAIRLY FLEXIBLE BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER. THE BEST ARRANGEMENT MIGHT PERHAPS BE FOR YOU, IF YOU ARE AGREEABLE, TO SUGGEST A BROAD CUTLINE AND FOR GILLAN TO BE GIVEN THE NAME OF SOMEONE WITH WHOM HE COULD MAKE CONTACT ON ARRIVAL TO FIX THE DETAILS.
.4. WE HAVE MADE IT CLEAR TO GREY THAT IF YOUR AUTHORITIES ARE BEING ASKED TO LAY SOMETHING ON FOR MR. BENSON, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT HIS PRIVATE ARRANGEMENTS SHOULD BE MADE GENERALLY KNOWN TO
THEM. AT PRESENT HE HAS NONE.
FCO PSE PASS IMMEDIATE TO HONG KONG.
