9. WE SEEM TO BE ON THE HOME STRETCH, WITH A DATE TO AIM FOR. THE MATTER OF THE WRITTEN REPORTS HAS BEEN FAIRLY PAINLESS. THE MORE SERIOUS OF OUR TWO POINTS ON THE CHINESE PRESS MATERIAL HAS BEEN MET. IT WILL NOT IN THE END MATTER TOO MUCH IF THE CHINESE MAKE THEIR ANNOUNCEMENT SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH OURS, THOUGH A SHORT INTERVAL WOULD BE BETTER.
10. WE PROPOSE TO SPEAK TO HU FA-KUANG ON 6 JANUARY, BUT NOT (NOT) TO SOUND OUT OTHER POSSIBLE COMMITTEE MEMBERS UNTIL AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
11. CI CHUANSHENG AND PEIRCE WILL REMIAN IN TOUCH THIS WEEK ON DETAILS, BUT MAY NOT NEED TO MEET AGAIN BEFORE A BOYD/QIAO MEETING ON 12 JANUARY.
