VISIT BY HU YAOBANG

1.

THE CHINESE EMBASSY HAVE NOW TOLD US THEY ACCEPT OUR PROPOSAL

THAT THE OFFICIAL SUITE BE KEPT TO OUR USUAL LIMIT OF 12. THEY

ADDED THAT THEY WILL REGARD THIS AS A PRECEDENT FOR FUTURE HIGH

LEVEL VISITS.

2. THEY HAVE ALSO PROVIDED SIX NAMES OF THE OFFICIAL SUITE,

IN PROTOCOL ORDER:

LI PENG, VICE PREMIER

FEI XIAOTONG, VICE CHAIRMAN, CHINESE PEOPLE'S POLITICAL

CONSULTATIVE CONFERENCE

ZHU LIANG, HEAD OF LIAISON DEPARTMENT, CENTRAL COMMITTEE

ZHOU NAN, VICE MINISTER, MFA

ZHENG PIJIAN, SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO MR HU (AN ECONOMIST)

3. AMBASSADOR HU DINGYL WE KNOW LITTLE ABOUT

ZHU LIANG OR ZHENG PIJIAN. GRATEFUL

FOR ANY BACKGROUND YOU CAN PROVIDE IN DUE COURSE.

4.

IT IS GOOD THAT LI AND FEI (WHO LAST VISITED THE UK IN 1981)

ARE COMING AND WE WILL TRY TO LAY ON SOME SEPARATE ACTIVITIES FOR

BOTH.

WE HOPE LI WILL AGREE TO MEET A GROUP OF LEADING

INDUSTRIALISTS: THE EMBASSY HAVE INDICATED THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE

APPROPRIATE FOR HU YAOBANG.
