In the admirable briefing prepared for Mr Renton's visit, the list of personalities attached is highly eccentric.

He is now some of supervisory editor of the SCNP (I do not know the precise title) with a new "executive editor" already in place. Should you not add to the list with eg Simon Keswick and other prominent journalists such as E G Lewis Cha and Derek Davies as well as oddities such as Xu Jiatun? (Add to Christian Adams' personality note that he is due to take over as head of SEAD in January 1986).
