TO IMMEDIATE PEKING

TELEGRAM NUMBER 1080 OF 22 SEPTEMBER

INFO ROUTINE F C O

FOR MCLAREN FROM MARGOLIS.

YOUR TELNO 426: FUTURE: ADMINISTRATION: BRIEFING OF CONSULS GENERAL.

1. I THINK IT WOULD BE PREFERABLE FOR YOU TO SEE THE AMERICAN WITH THE AUSTRALIAN, CANADIAN AND NEW ZEALANDER. THE AMERICANS SPECIAL INTERESTS HAVE BEEN LARGELY TAKEN CARE OF BY PRE-INITIALLING BRIEFING IN WASHINGTON. YOU COULD ALWAYS FOLLOW UP WITH INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS AFTER YOU RETURN FROM PEKING ON 2 OCTOBER.

2. NO (NO) ARRANGEMENTS HAVE YET BEEN MADE TO BRIEF THE GOVERNOR OF MACAU, BEYOND ENSURING THAT THE PORTUGUESE CONSULATE WILL BE SUPPLIED WITH A COPY OF THE WHITE PAPER AT THE TIME OF PUBLICATION. I ASSUME THAT YOU WOULD NOT IN ANY CASE BE ABLE TO CONTEMPLATE A VISIT TO MACAU UNTIL AFTER 2 OCTOBER. WE COULD DISCUSS THIS FURTHER ON 27 SEPTEMBER.
