DAMASCUS (FOR PS/MR. RENTON).

291 YOUR TELNO. 348 : MR. RENTON'S VISIIT.

IF MR. RENTON IS TO DEPART CANTON FOR SHENZHEN IN THE MORNING

OF 23 JANUARY, AND TO HAVE A NORMAL PROGRAMME IN SHENZHEN, HE WILL PROBABLY NOT ARRIVE IN HONG KONG UNTIL THE EVENING OF

THAT DAY. SINCE HE IS INTENDING TO LEAVE FOR BANGKOK EARLY THE

FOLLOWING MORNING, THIS WOULD NOT ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME TO BRIEF EXCO. WONDER IF A VISIT TO SHENZHEN IS NECESSARY. WOULD HOPE

THAT MR. RENTON MIGHT BE ABLE TO TRAVEL TO HONG KONG DIRECT FROM CANTON, ARRIVING LATE MORNING. OTHERWISE, THE REVISED DATES CAUSE

US NO PROBLEMS.
