PERSONAL FOR MCLAREN, DU$S FROM GOVERNOR YOUR TELNO 1348: BILL OF RIGHTS
37
THANK YOU FOR THIS TELEGRAM. I QUITE UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION AT YOUR END OVER THE CONTENT OF SOME OF OUR TELEGRAMS ON THIS SUBJECT WHILE I WAS AWAY. YOU ARE RIGHT IN THINKING THAT THE LAWYERS HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING. SOMETIMES THEY HAVE BEEN RATHER BLINKERED IN DOING SO. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD MY OWN FAIR SHARE OF FRUSTRATIONS WITH THE PROCESS EXCLAM.
2.
WE HAVE ALREADY RESPONDED ON THE THOUGHTFUL IDEA OF SENDING OUT A LEGAL ADVISER (FCO TELNO 1312). I WILL MAKE SURE THAT A REPLY IS ALSO SENT ON THE EFFECT OF PUBLIC OPINION HERE IF THE CHINESE DENOUNCE THE BILL OF RIGHTS (FCO TELNO 1203).
