4. YOUR COMMENTS ON PUBLICITY ARE NOTED. I SEE NO DIFFICULTY IN
GETTING AGREEMENT FROM CLP/.PEPCO FOR DELAYED SIMULTANEOUS
ANNOUNCEMENT AND A CONSISTENT LINE ON QUESTIONS.
5. AS ANTICIPATED, CLP (BARRETT) HAS, ON INSTRUCTIONS FROM SIDNEY GORDON, TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT RELEASE TEXT OF SCHEME OF CONTROL TO US UNTIL FORMALLY APPROVED BY GOVERNMENT. REASON IS CLEARLY
GORDON'S DELICATE POSITION AS MEMBER OF EXCO. I SHALL NEVERTHELESS
TRY TO GET SOMETHING FROM GOVERNMENT SIDE 1.E JEAFFRESON.
6. BARRETT IS PRESSING ME FOR DRAFT LETTER OF INTENT. HOUSTON
ARE PRESSING SMITH TO PROVIDE DOCUMENT FOR EXAMINATION BY EXXON
LEGAL EXPERTS.
7. YOUR SUGGESTION THAT CONTRACTORS START TALKS ON 12 DECEMBER IS NOTED BUT I BELIEVE WEEDON, WHO HAS CONSULTED STONES, IS RECOMMENDING THAT THEY SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FROM 8 DECEMBER AS A
PRECAUTION. IT IS FOR CONTRACTORS TO JUDGE BUT THINGS COULD
DEVELOP VERY QUICKLY DURING WEEK DEC 12 15 AND STONES WILL
OBVIOUSLY FIND HIMSELF VERY TIED UP.
8. I SHALL FOR THE PRESENT STICK TO THE HOTEL BOOKING NOTIFIED
IN MY CREDA 282. SIR LAWRENCE IS ALREADY PLANNING AN INFORMAL
GET TOGETHER AT BOULDER LODGE ON SUNDAY DECEMBER 11.
