1. WHEN I TOOK TONY GODSON (SEAD) TO CALL ON LE CHAN DEPUTY
DIRECTOR EUROPE 2 YESTERDAY, IT BECAME APPARENT THAT BECAUSE OF ABSENCES IN KUALA LUMPUR AND GENEVA (AND THE SERIOUS ILLNESS OF THE DIRECTOR OF CONSULAR DEPARTMENT) THE RESPONSE TO OUR PROPOSED DRAFT MOU WAS BEING DELAYED. I THEREFORE DECIDED TO TAKE A FIRST BITE ON THE BULLET, AND EXPLAINED TO CHAN THE LOGISTIC PROBLEM AT
THE UK END. HE TOOK THE POINT AND I BELIEVE WILL ATTEMPT TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
2. I WAS ENCOURAGED NOT TO DELAY RAISING THE MATTER ALSO BY
THE FACT THAT GODSON AND BURNS (V.0.) WERE TOLD IN HO CHI MINH
CITY THAT THE OVERALL ODP FLOW MIGHT BE INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY NEXT YEAR.
