The lists of briefs are, of course, subject to amendment in the light of developments. But before suggesting additional briefs, please consider whether a short reference in an existing brief (or in the briefing letter) would suffice.

CLASSIFICATION

9. As a general rule, issues discussed at CHOGM should only need to be classified "RESTRICTED" at most. Please do not over-classify, as it multiplies processing and handling time, and makes more difficult the effective use of your work in Harare. Please do not submit any SECRET briefs without consulting CCD first.

10. All enquiries about this minute should go in the first instance to Peter Fluck (270 3782, Room E317A) and all papers should be sent to CCD's Documentation Unit Room E317A. Formatted disks are attached for those departments which can use them. They should be returned with the final versions to facilitate any unavoidable last minute amendments.

Please encourage your Desk Officers to help simplify our life by:
