AMBASSADOR DESIGNATE, HANOI

1. FURTHER TO MY TELELETTER OF 17 SEPTEMBER, PRESENT PLANS ARE

THAT TONKIN'S SUCCESSOR WILL TRAVEL TO BANGKOK FOR THE HEADS OF

MISSION MEETING IN MID-DECEMBER BEFORE TAKING UP POST.

2.

WE HOPE HE WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO MCLAREN IN

THE MARGINS OF THE MEETING, AND THAT THEY CAN THEN SETTLE TIMING

FOR A VISIT TO HONG KONG. AMBASSADOR DESIGNATE WILL PROBABLY WISH

TO PROCEED STRAIGHT TO HANOI AFTER ATTENDING MEETING, BUT WE AGREE HE SHOULD FIT IN A TRIP TO HONG KONG AT FIRST AVAILABLE OPPORTUN-

ITY THEREAFTER.
