YOUR TELNOS. CREDA 27 AND EXCED 5.

1. THOMPSON LEAVES FOR U.K ON THURSDAY 16 FEBRUARY. HE LOOKS

FORWARD TO SEEING COTTERILL, KEMP AND BIRCH AT 12 NOON ON MONDAY 20 FEBRUARY. HE WILL BE DRIVING TO LONDON FROM HIS DORSET

HOME ON THAT MORNING AND WILL BE STAYING AT THE ORIENTAL CLUB (TEL.629-5126). I HAVE GIVEN HIM BROWNING'S TELEPHONE NUMBER AS HE WOULD LIKE TO CALL AT THE D.O.T POSSIBLY ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 2

2. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THOMPSON WAS NOT PARTICULARLY PLEASED TO LEARN THAT BRAY HAD ARRANGED FOR THE HON. HILTON CHEONG-LEEN TO BE PRESENT AT COTTERILL'S LUNCH. THE PRESENCE OF AN UNOFFICIAL MEMBER OF LEGCO WILL INHIBIT DISCUSSIONS. HE IS, THEREFORE, GRATEFUL THAT E.C.G.D HAVE ARRANGED FOR HIM TO HAVE A PRIVATE SESSION BEFORE THE LUNCH.

3. SEE ALSO MY EXCED.4.
