PATEY (TELNO 270 6695, FAXNO 273 3236) IS THE RESPONSIBLE OFFICER. ON ARRIVAL THE AUSTRALIANS WILL PROVIDE A FULLY PRINTED PROGRAMME WITH PRECISE TIMINGS OF ALL EVENTS, TRANSPORT ARRANGEMENTS, CONTACT TELEPHONE NUMBERS ETC. WE ARE SENDING BY BAG A COPY OF THE PROGRAMME PRODUCED FOR SIR GEOFFREY HOWE'S VISIT LAST YEAR AND COPY OF THE INFORMATION NOTES FOR OFFICIAL VISITORS TO AUSTRALIA PRODUCED BY DPMC. THERE WOULD BE NO POINT IN GOING TO SYDNEY OR MELBOURNE AS NO-ONE THERE WOULD BE ABLE TO TALK AUTHORITATIVELY ABOUT THE COMPLETE PROGRAMME IN THOSE CITIES. IF MATTHEW CHEUNG WISHES TO

VISIT CANBERRA TO DISCUSS LOGISTICS AND PROGRAMME DETAILS WITH

OFFICIALS HERE THERE WOULD BE NO DIFFICULTY. PATEY IS INVOLVED IN UK/AUSTRALIA PLANNING TALKS ON 22/23 APRIL SO IF A VISIT WERE TO

TAKE PLACE IT WOULD NEED TO BE LATER IN THE WEEK.
