PEKING'S TELELETTER 284/1 OF 12 OCTOBER

CHINESE LANGUAGE STUDENTS:

VISIT TO PEKING, DECEMBER 1990

1. APOLOGIES FOR THE DELAY IN REPLYING TO TUR, IT WAS CAUGHT IN A HANDOVER. I AM AFRAID THE DATES SUGGESTED ARE THE ONLY ONES AVAILABLE TO THE STUDENTS, THEY ARE GRATEFUL YOU CAN STILL HOST

AT THAT TIME.

2. DSLC WILL FUND A 10 DAY VISIT ON THE SAME BASIS AS THE ONE LAST YEAR. I SUGGEST THE STUDENTS DEPART HK BY TRAIN ON 7 DECEMBER, ARRIVING PEKING EARLY MORNING ON 9 DECEMBER. A PROGRAMME SIMILAR TO THE ONE I ENJOYED LAST YEAR WOULD BE EXCELLENT.

3. I BELIEVE SIMON LEVER IS MAKING HIS OWN ARRANGEMENTS TO STAY WITH SANJAY WADVANI. GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD FIND SPACE IN EMBASSY

FLATS FOR CAROL HAWORTH AND STEPHEN LILLIE.

4.

YOUR PARA 2: THE STUDENTS WOULD LIKE TO VISIT SHANGHAI IF POSSIBLE. THEY INTEND TO STAY WITH COLLEAGUES FROM THE CONSULATE AND I BELIEVE LEVER HAS ALREADY DISCUSSED THIS WITH IAN CORMACK. GRATEFUL TO KNOW IF SHANGHAI WOULD BE ABLE TO HOST DURING THAT TIME. THE STUDENTS SHOULD RETURN TO HONG KONG ON 17 DECEMBER.

5. TRAINING DEPARTMENT REGISTRY PLEASE COPY TO FED, SECURITY
