1.

WE NOTE THAT STONES SEEMS TO HAVE TOLD EDF THAT THERE IS

NO LONGER ANY IMMEDIATE NEED FOR EDF TO SEND ANYONE TO HONG KONG, THOUGH MISS TAM HAD EARLIER SEEMED RECEPTIVE.

2.

IF YOU STILL FEEL AN EDF PRESENTATION WOULD BE HELPFUL, IS THERE ANY MORE YOU CAN SAY TO UMELCO TO STIMULATE A REQUEST?

3.

WE HAVE IT IN MIND TO DRAFT A SPEAKING NOTE ON DAYA BAY

FOR POSSIBLE USE BY WILSON IN THE MARGINS OF JLG IV. WE NOTE (YOUR TELNO 2186, PARA 7) THAT YAXLEY HAS SAID THE SUBJECT WILL NOT BE DISCUSSED BY THE JLG. THAT SEEMS RIGHT. BUT WE DO NOT

THINK WE SHOULD PASS UP THE OPPORTUNITY OF TALKING INFORMALLY TO

THE CHINESE ABOUT THE ANXIETIES OF HONG KONG PEOPLE AND URGING

THEM TO PROVIDE REASSURANCE. DO YOU AGREE?
