FROM AMBASSADOP IN HONG KONG

YOUR TELNO 1043 TO PEKING : MR PENTON'S VISIT

1. IF MR RENTON IS TO CALL ON HONG KONG AND MACAU OFFICE OF THE STATE COUNCIL (AN IDEA FAVOUR), * RECOMMEND THAT HE SHOULD SEEK TO CALL ON JI PENGFEL RATHER THAN LF HOU. DO NOT THINK THAT THIS WOULD DISCONCERT WU XUEQIAN. WU IS NOW SENIOR TO JE IN THE PARTY HIERARCHY AND IS EQUAL IN RANK TO HIM IN THE STATE HIERARCHY.

2. MY WIFE AND HOPE THAT MR RENTON AND HIS PRIVATE SECRETARY WOULD BE ABLE TO STAY WITH US FOR THE MIGHTS OF 21 AND 22 JANUARY.
