SIR ROBIN BUTLER'S VISITS TO THE US AND CANADA:
deadline c.o.p. Monday 3 September
3/2
CALL FOR BRIEFS:
1. Sir Robin Butler will hold talks with leading members of the US
Administration and the Canadian Government from 17 - 21 September. His programme is attached. Because of other engagements, he has
asked that briefing on foreign policy issues listed below should
reach his office by 5 September (Briefing on nuclear, intelligence and Civil Service issues is being prepared separately by the same deadline). Any updating eg on the Gulf can be sent to his office on
12 September. He leaves the UK on the 14th.
A. The Gulf and Arab/Israel ......Iraq/Kuwait Emergency Unit/NENAD
This will be the main topic of discussion at all of
foreign policy/intelligence calls in Washington and
Ottawa. One of Sir Robin's main objectives will be
to try to probe Washington's forward thinking. He will
require a basic brief covering all relevant
aspects, including oil supplies and sanctions-busting.
I should be grateful if MED would coordinate their
contribution with the Cabinet Office and PUSD so that the
overall briefing for the Cabinet Secretary covers all
the necessary bases (It should also indicate what may not
be used in Ottawa).
