attached to 159

(a) As you know the Prime Minister attaches importance to seeing Vice Chairman Deng Xiaoping twice during her visit.

(b)

흐흐

(c)

She will be glad to visit the Peking Cancer Research Institute.

She will be happy to visit (but not to open) the British Council's Book Exhibition.

(d) She would like to visit the Summer Palace in Peking

and the Peking Conservatoire and also to see some Chinese painting in Peking.

(e) She would like to attend a cultural performance in

Shanghai.
