THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELPFUL TURS.

2. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON 29 NOVEMBER. WE

HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MR LUCE FOR 9.00 O'CLOCK. WE HAVE

MADE A PROVISIONAL APPOINTMENT WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR

2.30, THOUGH THIS IS SUBJECT TO HIS TIME OF DEPARTURE FOR PARIS

THAT DAY, WHICH HAS NOT YET BEEN DECIDED.

3. WE NOTE MR JUSTICE LI'S PLANS. WE WONDER WHETHER HE WOULD BE

INTERESTED IN ATTENDING ALL OR PART OF THE DEBATE ON THE

AGREEMENT IN THE HOUSE. IF SO THE SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD BE

GLAD TO ARRANGE FOR THIS.

4.

WE ARE ALSO GRATEFUL FOR THE INDICATIONS OF THE LENGTH AND

STRUCTURE OF THE MONITORS' REPORT. IT SEEMS ADMIRABLE. WE

CONFIRM THAT THE LETTER TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE COVERING IT CAN

BE BRIEF AND FORMAL.
