3. ON THE POINT IN THE LAST SENTENCE OF UKMIS TELEGRAM UNDER

REFERENCE, I THINK IT WOULD BE PREFERABLE TO TAKE ANY ACTION

YOU CONSIDER NECESSARY WITH GATT DELEGATIONS RATHER THAN

ALTHOUGH IT WOULD ALSO BE DESIRABLE TO INFORM H.M.

EMBASSIES IN WASHINGTON, TOKYO AND TO THE E E C.

(FCO PLS PASS TO UKMIS GENEVA)
