1.
FOR THE RECORD, SHEEHAN'S RECOLLECTION OF DOUGLAS' INVITATION TO UK TO PARTICIPATE IN THE HONOLULU MEETING IN 1983
IS SELECTIVE. DOUGLAS INVITED US TO ATTEND ONLY 2 DAYS BEFORE
THE MEETING BEGAN ON 1 AUGUST. ALTHOUGH DOUGLAS CLAIMED TO HAVE
DISCUSSED THE PROSPECT OF SUCH A MEETING WITH LORD BELSTEAD SOME
MONTHS EARLIER, NO FORM OF INVITATION WAS EXTENDED. INDEED, THE
US APPROACHED OTHER GROUP MEMBERS - BUT NOT UK IN JUNE/JULY
1983 TO INVITE THEM TO ATTEND.
2.
IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES IT WAS BOTH IMPRACTICABLE AND
INAPPROPRIATE FOR US TO SEND A REPRESENTATIVE.
