Dear Morgan,
PRIME MINISTER'S VISIT : PRESS ARRANGEMENTS
1 I enclose a list of the journalists who will be accompanying the Prime Minister, and a folder containing their photographs and personal details on separate sheets.
I should be grateful if you would give these to the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
2 Two copies of the individual sheets (but without photographs) have been given to the Chinese Embassy in London.
3 All the journalists whose names are on the list have made their own individual visa and accreditation applications to the nearest Chinese Embassy which in almost every case is the Embassy in London.
