ACCOMMODATION

11. M. Schumana was accommodated in an offical, Chinese Government

guesthouse (the formor US Embasoy). This is comfortable and roomy.

The Chinese will undoubtedly expect the Secretary of State to do

While it would be normal practice on a visit to

another country for the Secrotury of State to stay with the

Ambassador, the Chinese would I think take it amiss if the

the came.

Secretary of State were not to stay at the guesthouse. This woulâ

in fact be largo enough to accommodato all members of the party.

The Private Office could also be established there. In this

caso a 24 hour security guard would be required. The Chancery

is very small and there would not be sufficient room to

establish a Private Office thoro. Thoro would be no advantago

in using the Residence for this purpose; both the Chancery and

the Rosidonce are 14 miles away from the guesthouse,
