SUBJECT: PRIME MINISTER'S VISIT TO CHINA
I enclose final copies of briefing for the visit.
We shall follow this shortly with supplementary
material covering the additional items in your
letter of 12 December.

One point requires explanation. The Steering Brief
(Brief No 1 paragraph 10) and Speaking Notes for the
talks with Premier Zhao (Brief No 2B, paragraph 5) refer
the negotiations of a Nuclear Cooperation Agreement with
China. This cannot however be proposed to the
Chinese without the Prime Minister's agreement in
principle to go ahead. This has not yet been sought,
because the general question is still under consideration
by Ministers here. We will write separately tomorrow
with a recommendation.
Meanwhile, the reference in the
Steering Brief (though not the Speaking Notes) is
square bracketed.
