RESTRICTED
3 ON PRELIMINARY NEGOTIATIONS BY OFFICIALS (INDUS TELNO.23, BARA 6) THE CHINESE ARE CLEARLY VERY MUCH IN FAVOUR OF ONE OR TWO
OFFICIALS FROM DOT ARRIVING A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE MR VARLEY.
4. ANY COMMENTS WE MAY HAVE ON CHINESE DRAFT (WHICH AT FIRST SIGHT LOOKS PERFECTLY REASONABLE) WILL FOLLOW.
5. NO CHINESE MINISTERS OR OFFICIALS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DISCUSSION AGAIN BEFORE 1 FEBRUARY.
