YOUR TELNO 004 AND FCO TELNO 75 TO ME: NUCLEAR SAFETY: CHINA: UMELCO 1. MISS TAM TELEPHONED ON 18 AUGUST. SHE ASKET FOR TEXTS OF NUCLEOP SAFETY CONVENTIONS JUST NEGOTIATED. I EXPLAINED THAT THESE HAD ONLY JUST BEEN SENT TO LONDON AND THAT IT MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME BEFORE COPIES WERE SENT FROM ECO TO HONG KONG.

2. SHE THEN ASKED WHETHER THE POST-CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT ANALYSIS MEETING HAD STARTED. I EXPLAINED THAT IT BEGINS ON 25 AUGUST. SHE ASKED IF I WOULD APPROACH QUOTE SUITABLE DELEGATES UNQUOTE

TO THAT MEETING AND INVITE THEM TO VISIT HONG KONG ON THEIR WAY HOME TO GIVE A LECTURE TO A SUITABLE AUDIENCE. I SAID THAT IT WOULD NOT BE PROPER FOR ME TO APPROACH DELEGATIONS OF OTHER GOVERNMENTS IN THIS WAY, SUCH AN APPROACH WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE TO THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENT, NOT TO THE INDIVIDUALS.

3. SHE THEN ASKED IF I WOULD INVITE 14EA EXPERTS TO VISIT PONG KONG AND GIVE A LECTURE. I SAID THAT I WOULD BE READY TO APPROACH THE 14E 4 BUT I WOULD NEED TO KNOW SUITABLE DATES AND TO HAVE SOME DETAILS OF THE ORGANISING BODY, LIKELY AUDIENCE AND THE SUBJECT OF THE LECTURE SO THAT THE AGENCY COULD SELECT A SUITABLE PERSON. SHE ASKED WHETHER I COULD NOT SUGGEST THAT THE NEXT MEMBER OF THE 14E4 TO TRAVEL IN THE EAST SHOULD VISIT HONG KONG. I EXPLAINED THAT NOT ALL, INDEED ONLY A MINORITY, OF 14E4 STAFF DEAL WITH NUCLEAR SAFETY. 4. SHE PROMISED TO SEND TELEX GIVING DETAILS OF A LECTURE WHICH COULD BE HELD AT ANY TIME IN THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS.

5. GRATEFUL FOR CONFIRMATION THAT YOU AND FCO AGREE TO MY PROCEEDING AS REQUESTED BY MISS TAM.
