Dear Private Secretary,

Anglo-German Summit: 8-9 November 1983

This letter sets out the briefing arrangements for the Anglo-German Summit which is to take place in Bonn on 8-9 November 1983.

The list of briefs to be prepared, with an indication of Departmental responsibility, is at Annex A. Instructions on format are at Annex B and C. Those preparing briefs should note carefully the details on the format of briefs set out in Annex B. Departments should, therefore, aim to ensure that, apart from the General Brief, individual subject briefs do not exceed two sides of paper. Departments should ensure that the resumes of their briefs are with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office by close of play on 27 October 1983 at the latest.

70 copies of each brief should be sent to the Cabinet Office as soon as they are ready. They should reach the Cabinet Office by 12.00 noon on Friday 4 November. They should. be addressed to Mr R D Roscoe in Committee Section, who should be consulted (tel no 233 7343) about any technical points arising.

I am sending copies of this letter to the Private Secretaries to Sir Antony Acland, Mr P E Middleton, Sir Clive Whitmore, Sir William Ryrie, Sir Anthony Rawlinson, Sir Brian Hayes, Sir Kenneth Couzens, Sir Michael Franklin, Sir George Moseley, Mr M E Quinlan, Mr D J S Hancock and to John Coles at No 10.

Yours sincerely,

(Signed) LINDSAY WILKINSON (MISS)
