Transatlantic relations as a backdrop.

In addition, we

shall wish to discuss in some depth the Middle East,

Latin America (in particular the Falklands) and Southern

Africa.

should keep the bilateral relationship under review and

London and Bonn on a report but the results will not be

ready for submission to Heads of Government before the

Spring 1984 Summit.
