YOUR TELNO PERSONAL 63: GIBRALTAR INTERNAL SECTION

I DISCUSSED WITH HASSAN THIS MORNING. HE READILY AGREED THAT SINCE WE COULD NOT SAY THAT A MAJOR REORGANISATION WAS INVOLVED IT WOULD BE BETTER NOT REPEAT NOT TO ISSUE ANY STATEMENT. HE THOUGHT HOWEVER, AND I AGREE, THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA IF LOCAL EDITORS COULD BE GIVEN A BACKGROUND BRIEFING ON THE BASIS OF MATERIAL PROVIDED IN YOUR TELNO PERSONAL 64. I ACCORDINGLY INTEND THAT GORDON SHOULD SPEAK TO LOCAL EDITORS DURING MORNING

OF 7 APRIL.
