1. ACTION TAKEN ON 22 AUGUST WITH MLLE DUPRAZ (ATOMIC, QUESTIONS, QUAI) WITH WHOM A SPEAKING NOTE WAS LEER (TEXT AS IN YOUR INDUS 87

WITH AMENDEMENT AS IN INDUS 89). 1980

2. MLLE DUPRAZ IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WAS TO EMPHASISE THE DIFFICULTY

OF THE FRENCH TAKING ACTION AS REQUESTED WITHOUT UPSETTING THE

CHINESE. HOWEVER, SHE ACCEPTED THAT WE CONSIDERED A FRENCH PUBLIC

STATEMENT TO BE AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN THE PROCESS LEADING TO

CONTRACT SIGNATURES. SHE WILL NOW CONSULT OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES

(NOTABLY THE MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY) TO SEE IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO

RESPOND POSITIVELY TO OUR APPROACH.

3. WE SHALL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS THE QUAI ARE READY TO GIVE US

THEIR CONSIDERED RESPONSE.
