CHOICE OF WIDE BODIED AIRCRAFT BY CATHAY PACIFIC As I mentioned on the telephone, we had a meeting this morning with representatives of John Swire & Sons Ltd (who held the controlling interest in Cathay Pacific Airways) at their request.

I have knocked out the attached draft of a telegram to Hong Kong reporting the gist of what was said. I am rather anxious to get this off tonight if possible and I am therefore sending this to you in parallel with a copy to Tony Warrington. I will give you a ring as soon as I know whether or not he has any amendments to suggest.

Yours sincerely

G T ROGERS
