INFO IMMEDIATE SINGAPORE, PRIORITY JAKARTA, KUALA LUMPUR HONG KONG (PERSONAL FOR GOVERNOR), MANILA.

MY TELNO 64: BRUNET NEGOTIATIONS.

See 68 69

1. ISA, WHO IS BEING MOST HELPFUL, HAS PRIVATELY GIVEN ME ADVANCE NOTICE THAT I CAN EXPECT A COMMUNICATION FROM THE SULTAN THAT THE AUDIENCE WOULD BE ON FRIDAY EVENING. I WOULD EXPECT THIS TO BE

AT 0.00PM AFTER THE EVENING PRAYER.

2. 1 VILL TELEGRAPH AGAIN JUST AS SOON AS I RECEIVE THE SULTAN'S CONFIRMATION,

3. ALTHOUGH THE DA FLIGHT IS SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE AT 2.15PM FRIDAY, I SEE THE STRESS FOR MURRAY, AND ALTHOUGH THE NOTICE IS SHORT, I WONDER IF HE MIGHT WISH TO CONSIDER ADVANCING HIS TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS TO GIVE HIM A SHADE MORE OF A BREATHER. FCO PASS ALL EXCEPT SINGAPORE AND KUALA LUMPUR,

DAVIDSON
