1. FOR HONG KONG: CHINESE HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THEY WOULD WELCOME THE AID OFFERED. WE SEE NO PROBLEM WITH USING CATHAY COMMERCIAL FLIGHT
AND SUGGEST YOU SEND FIRST BATCH OF ITEMS ON 2 JUNE AS PLANNED. CHINESE AUTHORITIES WILL MEET THE PLANE, AND MAKE NCESSARY ARRANGEMENTS FOR UNLOADING. ITEMS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO MR ZHU YULIN, DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, MINISTRY OF FORESTRY. PLEASE SUPPLY IN ADVANCE DETAILS OF NUMBER, SIZE AND WEIGHT OF PACKAGES, GOODS NUMBER (IF AVAILABLE) AND FLIGHT DETAILS.
2. THE CHINESE SEE NO PROBLEM WITH DELIVERY BY RAIL OF OUTSTANDING
ITEMS. THEY WISH TO KNOW HOWEVER WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FREIGHT CHARGES.
3. FOR ODA: SINCE HONG KONG IS SUPPLYING THE TOTAL CHINESE REQUIREMENT OF MEAT AND BUSCUITS, WE SEE NO POINT IN BUYING THESE LOCALLY. HONG KONG ARE ALSO SUPPLYING A LARGE NUMBER OF BLANKETS. BLANKETS ARE AVAILABLE LOCALLY ONLY IN TIANJIN, NOT PEKING. AT THE PRICE QUOTED, WE COULD BUY ONLY 1,300 WITH 20000 POUNDS STERLING. WE THEREFORE CONSIDER THE MONEY WOULD BE BETTER SPENT ON MEDICINES, WHICH DO NOT SEEM TO BE READILY AVAILABLE LOCALLY. LATEST ADDITION TO CHINESE LIST IS AMPICILLIN FOR INJECTION: 840,000 AMPOULES (500 MG PER AMPULE).
