MACAO

1. THE PORTUGUESE HAVE APPROACHED US THROUGH BARREIROS (EUROPEAN CORRESPONDANT) TO ASK WHETHER THEIR NEW CHIEF NEGOTIATOR ON MACAO

AND THEIR INCOMING POLITICAL DIRECTOR COULD MEET SIR P CRADOCK

TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN LEARN FROM OUR EXPERIENCE IN NEGOTIATING

WITH THE CHINESE OVER HONG KONG. WE HAVE REPLIED DIRECTLY TO

BARREIROS THAT SIR P CRADOCK WOULD BE HAPPY TO MEET THE PORTUGUESE TEAM FOR AN INTRODUCTORY CALL AND DR WILSON, WHO WAS PERSONALLY INVOLVED IN THE NEGOTIATIONS ON HONG KONG AND OF

COURSE STILL HAS RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR RELATIONS WITH CHINA,

WOULD BE GLAD TO HAVE A FULLER SESSION OF TALKS.

BUT BARREIROS SAID (PLEASE PROTECT) THAT THEY ARE:

NEW POLITICAL DIRECTOR: PRESENT PORTUGUESE AMBASSADOR

TO CDE STOCKHOLM
