WE
2 =
3.
(A) PARA 2: SOME OF THE WORDING IS A LITTLE AGGRESSIVE. SUGGEST REPLACING, IN THE PENULTIMATE SENTENCE, QUOTE CLAIMED UNQUOTE BY QUOTE CONSIDERED UNQUOTE AND QUOTE KEPT
IN THE DARK ABOUT UNQUOTE BY QUOTE HAD NO INDICATION OF UNQUOTE.
(B) PARA 4: WOULD IT BE ACCURATE TO INSERT QUOTE SMALL UNQUOTE BEFORE QUOTE NUMBER UNQUOTE IN THE FIFTH SENTENCE QUERY. WE ALSO SUGGEST THAT THE PASSAGE IN BRACKETS BE REMOVED TO FORM A NEW SIXTH SENTENCE CONTINUING QUOTE ON 10 MAY. MR GALSWORTHY INTENDS TO BRING AMBASSADOR GUO UP TO DATE ON OUR LATEST THINKING UNQUOTE.
(C) WE SUGGEST A NEW PARA 5 BEGINS WITH QUOTE THESE ARE THE CONCERNS UNQUOTE.
WE AGREE WITH THE COMMENTS IN PEKING TUR.
