1. WE ARE NOW CONSIDERING BRIEFS. IT WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL IF YOU

COULD LET US KNOW BY TELEGRAM WHAT SUBJECTS ARE LIKELY TO BE RAISED

WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE BOTH BY UNOFFICIAL MEMBERS AT DISCUSSIONS

ON 14 FEBRUARY AND BY PRESS ON HIS DEPARTURE. ARE THERE ANY

PARTICULAR MATTERS WHICH YOU CONSIDER COULD WITH ADVANTAGE BE

COVERED IN BRIEF STATEMENT TO BE MADE TO PRESS ON ARRIVAL? IS THERE

ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR WHICH YOU YOURSELF WISH TO DISCUSS?
