NUCLEAR SAFETY:
1. I HAVE A NUMBER OF AMENDMENTS TO SUGGEST TO THE DRAFT SPEAKING NOTE, SET OUT IN PARAGRAPH 3 BELOW. MEANWHILE I SHALL NOT (REPEAT) NOT MENTION THE PROPOSED ACTION TO MY FRENCH COLLEAGUE. IF HOWEVER THE FRENCH AGREE TO A JOINT CALL ON LI PENG (OR WHOEVER LI
PENG APPOINTS TO RECEIVE US) YOU SHOULD NOTE THAT MALO IS SENIOR TO
ME HERE AND WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE TO TAKE THE LEAD IN
SPEAKING.
2. ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT YOU WILL NOT BE IN A POSITION TO INSTRUCT ME BEFOREHAND, I WOULD NOT PROPOSE TO BROACH THIS SUBJECT WHEN I SEE LI PENG ON 2 JULY IN THE COMPANY OF DELORS. IF LI PENG WERE TO DO SO WITH ME, POSSIBLY IN THE MARGINS, I WOULD SPEAK TO HIM MUTATIS MUTANDIS AS DAVIES DID TO SONG JIAN ON 16 JULY.
3. FOLLOWING ARE MY SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS:

SECOND PARAGRAPH,
SECOND SENTENCE:
LAST SENTENCE:
SINCE MARIA TAM WILL PROBABLY MEAN LITTLE TO LI PENG, SUGGEST THIS REFERENCE SHOULD BE CHANGED TO 'MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL' (IF THIS IS
CORRECT, RATHER THAN UMELCO).,
AMEND TO READ.. 'WE SEE GREAT ADVANTAGE IN THE
CHINESE GOVERNMENT AND THE JVC, WHICH WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OPERATING THE STATION BEING ABLE'
THIRD PARAGRAPH, FIRST SENTENCE:
EXCISE AND NOT BECAUSE OF ANY DOUBTS ABOUT
CHINA'S CAPABILITY'
