PREPARATORY MEETINGS IN THE FCO ON 18 JULY. IF POSSIBLE WE WOULD

LIKE TO GO OVER ALL THE ITEMS WITH THE VARIOUS EXPERTS ON THAT

DAY. (WE ARE AWARE THAT ERIC HO CANNOT BE PRESENT.)

2.

WE WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT ALL JLG MEMBERS PLUS R WILSON,

BURROWS, LAYDEN AND SMITH WILL NEED TO BE PRESENT FOR ALL OF THE

MEETINGS. BUT IT WOULD MAKE SENSE FOR OTHER EXPERTS TO ATTEND

ONLY WHEN THEIR SUBJECT IS BEING DISCUSSED.

3.

IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF MEMBERS OF THE HONG KONG AND

PEKING ELEMENTS OF THE UK DELEGATION COULD ARRIVE AT THE FCO

ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE THEIR MEETING IS DUE TO BEGIN. THIS WILL

ENABLE US TO ISSUE THE NEW FORM OF PHOTOGRAPHIC SECURITY PASS

WHICH WILL BE VALID UNTIL THE END OF THE JLG. BEDFORD, HKD, WILL

MEET DELEGATION MEMBERS AT THE FCO MAIN ENTRANCE FOR THIS

PURPOSE.

THE PREPARATORY MEETINGS WILL TAKE PLACE IN DR WILSON'S

OFFICE (WH 323).

START BEFORE 1115. HE ALSO HAS A LUNCH THAT DAY WHICH WILL TAKE

HIM OUT FROM 1230 TO 1430. WE HAVE ACCORDINGLY DRAWN UP THE
