In the meantime, the Prime Minister agrees in principle

that the announcement of the visits to Peking and Hong Kong

can be made in the week beginning 26 November. We shall need

to consider separately the announcement of a visit to

Washington.

This letter should be treated as for information only until

we have cleared up the question of how the Washington visit fits

into the rest of the programme.

Peter Ricketts, Esq.,

Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
