Would all recipients of this minute please consider whether there are any other subjects on which they think briefing might be required. For example should we cover

Southern Africa, Intelligence Collaboration or the Future of Hong Kong?

4. All briefing should be kept as short as possible: in most cases the PUS will already be familiar with the background. Where appropriate, points to make should be tailored to particular interlocutors (eg some subjects should include specific points for use with members of

/congress).
