YOUR TELNG 1286: ME CALLACHAN

1. I HAVE PASSED ON TO THE MFA (WANG YIHAC) PR CALLAGHAN'S REQUEST

FOR MEETINGS WITH HU YACBANG AND DENG XIAOPING.

2. WANG WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHICH CHINESE ORGANISATION WILL ACT AS

ME CALLAGHAN'S HOST. WE HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH FEI XIA@TONG'S

OFFICE ABOUT THIS. FEI HIMSELF IS AWAY FROM PEKING. BUT HIS DAUGHTER (WHO WAS ALSO A MEMBER OF HU YAGEANG'S DELEGATION) HAS TOLD US THAT, AS FAP AS SHE IS AWARE, NO FORMAL INVITATION HAS YET BEEN EXTENDED BY ANY CHINESE ORGANISATION TO MR CALLAGHAN. THE INVITATION EXTENDED DURINC HU'S VISIT PY FEI WAS PURELY AN INFORMAL ONE. NO DATES OR HOSTING ARRANGEMENTS WERE MENTIONED. NOR WERE EITHER MENTIONED IN A LETTER WHICH FEI SUBSEQUENTLY WROTE TO MP CALLAGHAN. SHE HAS UNDERTAKEN TO CHECK WITH HER FATHER BY TELEPHONE AND REVERT TO US EARLY NEXT WEEK.

3. MEANWHILE, WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD SEEK TO ESTABLISH FROM BCCI IN LONDON (OR FROM MR CALLAGHAN'S OFFICE) WHOM THEY HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ON THE CHINESE SIDE. IT WOULD ALSO BE HELPFUL TO HAVE SOME INDICATION OF HOW LONG MR CALLAGHAN WILL STAY AND WHO WILL ACCOMPANY HIM.
