1. LIN OF JARDINES (SEE PARA..6 OF TEL UNDER REF) HAS NOT REPEAT

NOT BEEN GIVEN A VISA TO GO TO PEKING. A TELEGRAM FROM CAAC SAYS THEY WILL CONTACT HIM IN DUE COURSE'' LIN SAYS THAT, IN A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH HIS CONTACTS IN PEKING, HE WAS TOLD THAT THE MATTER WAS NOW ONE FOR DISCUSSION BETWEEN PEKING AND

LONDON.

2. GRATEFUL FOR ANY LIGHT PEKING CAN THROW ON THIS DEVELOPMENT.

IT LOOKS TO US AS THOUGH THE CHINESE ARE DELAYING ANY FURTHER

DISCUSSION OF LOCAL FLIGHTS UNTIL THEY HEAR WHAT MR DELL HAS

TO SAY ON THE AIR SERVICES AGREEMENT.
