ANGLO/JAPANESE CONSORTIUM, AND THE MITSUBISHI REPRESENTATIVE WHO WAS ACCOMPANYING THE JAIDO TEAM VOLUNTEERED THAT THEY WERE NOT: WE SHOULD HAVE COLLABORATED WITH KUMAGAL. (THE JAIDO VISITORS DID NOT RESPOND DIRECTLY BUT APPEARED TO GO ALONG WITH

THIS. THERE WAS SOME BRIEF REFERENCE TO THE SUGGESTION THAT KUMAGAI MIGHT PURSUE THE WESTERN HARBOUR CROSSING, PERHAPS WITH LILLEY.)

7.

I HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS ALL THIS WITH MANZIE, OR TO CATCH UP WITH HIS SUBSEQUENT DISCUSSION WITH JAIDO: BUT HE IS OF COURSE NOW IN HONG KONG. YOUR OTTER 126 ARRIVED THIS MORNING, SO AGAIN I HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO DISCUSS THIS WITH MANZIE. WE WILL OF COURSE BE KEEN TO HAVE

YOUR AND HIS ASSESSMENT OF THE POSITION IN RESPECT OF MITSUI AND OTHER JAPANESE COMPANIES IN DUE COURSE. WE WILL NEED TO DISCUSS THIS FURTHER WITH YOU IN JUNE.

8.

WE ARE AWARE OF BENJAMIN'S MOVEMENTS AND OF HIS INTEREST

IN THE NEW AIRPORT PROJECT. AN INITIAL QUARANTINE PERIOD HAS SEEMED APPROPRIATE.
