LORD GLENARTHUR'S VISIT

1.

MKB 0271,

TOP COPY Q DIST ?

IT OCCURS TO ME THAT KE ZAISHUO, ASSUMING HE IS STILL IN PEKING NEXT WEEK, MIGHT WANT A CHANCE TO TALK TO ME OUTSIDE THE FRAMEWORK OF LORD GLENARTHUR'S DISCUSSIONS WITH ZHOU NAN. IF SO, I SHOULD BE HAPPY TO DO SO, THOUGH KE AND I WILL OF COURSE BE MEETING AGAIN IN HONG KONG ON 1 JULY AND WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE UP

JLG BUSINESS THEN.

2. I SHOULD ALSO BE READY (WEARING MY AUS(ASIA) HAT) TO UNDERTAKE ANY OTHER CALLS ON FOREIGN MINISTRY OFFICIALS WHICH YOU THINK MIGHT BE USEFUL. THESE COULD BE FITTED IN DURING THE NON-OPERATIONAL PARTS OF THE PEKING VISIT I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR ADVANCE WARNING IF ANY SPECIAL BRIEFING IS LIKELY

TO BE NECESSARY.
