OUR TELNO 467 (NOW REPEATED TO HONG KONG): VISIT OF HU YAOBANG:

DRAFT SPEECH

1. WE AGREE (YOUR TELNO 661 NOT TO HONG KONG) ABOUT THE

POSSIBLE PITFALLS IN DEALING WITH PHILOSOPHICAL ISSUES. AS YOU

WILL HAVE SEEN FROM TUR WE NOW ENVISAGE THE FORMAL TALKS AT NO 10

COVERING A FULL AGENDA OF INTERNATIONAL AND BILATERAL ISSUES. BUT WE STILL BELIEVE THAT HU'S LACK OF DIRECT GOVERNMENTAL

RESPONSIBLITIES AND HIS OWN INTELLECTUAL INTERESTS PROVIDE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO TACKLE SOME IDEOLOGICAL MISCONCEPTIONS.

THINK THIS MIGHT BE DONE IN THE SPEECH AND CONVERSATION AT

DINNER.
