COMMITMENTS OF WHICH WE ARE AWARE.

3.

THE USUAL ARRANGEMENTS WILL BE MADE FOR PASSES FOR THE

WHOLE PARTY AND ROOMS WILL BE PROVIDED FOR YOURSELF AND

UNOFFICIALS. UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO AN ACUTE SHORTAGE OF

SECRETARIAL STAFF THROUGHOUT THE OFFICE, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO

PROVIDE SECRETARIAL ASSISTANCE. (HKD HAVE BEEN SHORT OF A

SECRETARY FOR TWO MONTHS, AND NO REPLACEMENT IS YET IN SIGHT.)

WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO BRING A SECRETARY WITH YOU?

4.

WE WILL TELEGRAPH EARLY NEXT WEEK A LIST OF SUBJECTS WE

ARE LIKELY TO WISH TO DISCUSS WITH YOU SEPARATELY.
