Dear Miss Johns

I am now in a position to start making my travel arrangements for First Sea Lord's visit to Japan next year and I wonder therefore if you have been able to obtain a Ministerial view of the proposal that First Sea Lord should also visit China during this trip.

lc£t

As you know the Chinese Naval Delegation has jus this country after a most successful visit and the time could not be better for dropping a hint to Fang Wen once FCO Mininters have given us the go ahead.
