MY TELNO 43 AND FCC TELNO 51: NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATIONS:
PROGRAMME
1. WE LEARNT LAST NIGHT THAT SULTAN HAS CANCELLED THE STATE
BANQUET SCHEDULED FOR 24 FEBRUARY, ON THE GROUNDS THAT IT
WOULD BE THE SAME SULTAN ENTERTAINING THE SAME GUESTS AS TH(6 GPS
UNDEC) IF NG OFFICIAL EVENT IS DREAMED UP FOR THE EVENING OF 24
FEBRUARY TO REPLACE BANQUET, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE SULTAN
MIGHT OFFER A PRIVATE INVITATION TO THE PRINCE OF WALES.

EXEMPTION NO...-27.(..), 40(2)

:
IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES IT MIGHT BE
SENSIBLE FOR US TO INVITE THE PRINCE OF WALES AND SOME OF HIS
PARTY (ONLY) TO AN INFORMAL BARBEQUE PLUS SWIM AT OUR HOUSE.
IF THE PRINCE OF WALES DECIDED TO SPEND THE EVENING AT JERUDONG
OR IF THE SULTAN INVITED HIM TO DINNER, WE WOULD CANCEL THE
BARBEQUE WITHOUT ANY DIFFICULTY, BUT IT MIGHT BE HANDY TO HAVE
SUCH A PLAN FOR THE EVENING, SINCE IT COULD BE USED AS AN EXCUSE
FOR FENDING OFF UNWANTED OFFERS. GRATEFUL FOR REACTIONS.
3. FOR PS/MR LUCE:
A) NOW THAT BANQUET HAS GONE, I SEE NO IMPORTANT REASON WHY MR LUCE SHOULD REMAIN HERE AFTER THE PARADE AM ON 24 FEBRUARY IF HE
WISHED TO BRING FORWARD HIS DEPARTURE.
B) AUSTRALIAN HIGH COMMISSION HAVE JUST INFORMED US THAT MR
HAYDEN WOULD WELCOME MEETING WITH MR LUCE. HAYDEN EEPARTS AM 24
FEBRUARY.
