of today's meeting.

Pensions Policy

I attach a draft brief for Lord Chalfont's discussion

with Mr. William Rodgers, Treasury, and Mrs. Judith Hart,

C.D.M., on Wednesday, 7 January. I should be most grateful

for your concurrence on this by 1.0 p.m. tomorrow,

Tuesday, 6 January. Mrs. Hart does not intend that this

meeting should pre-empt discussion of details at official

level and clearly wishes to "test the temperature".

therefore confined the brief to the main issues at stake from

the F.C.O. point of view.

I have

JWR Shuber home.
