YOUR TELNOS 3′ AND 4: MY VISIT TO NEW ZEALAND

1.

ED

MANY THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION IN FIRST TUR AND FOR THE NEWS THAT I AM TO BE INVITED AS A GUEST OF THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT. THIS IS VERY WELCOME. I HAVE EXPRESSED THANKS TO MR STOREY THE MINISTER OF TRANSPORT WHO IS VISITING HONG KONG.

2"

I UNDERSTAND FROM THE NEW ZEALAND COMMISSION THAT BEING A

GUEST OF GOVERNMENT WILL PROBABLY MEAN THAT HIS GOVERNMENT WOULD PREFER ME TO STAY AS THEIR GUEST IN A HOTEL. IF THIS IS THE NORMAL FORM I HAD PROBABLY BETTER ACCEPT UNLESS YOU ADVISE

STRONGLY AGAINST. I AM SORRY THIS WILL MEAN NOT BEING ABLE TO

TAKE UP YOUR VERY KIND OFFER OF ACCOMMODATION AT THE RESIDENCE.

3.

BOTH YOUR SUGGESTIONS ABOUT SPEECH VENUES SEEM EMINENTLY SUITABLE. WE HAVE PASSED THEM TO THE NEW ZEALAND COMMISSIONER. HE WILL RELAY THEM TO HIS COLLEAGUES IN WELLINGTON AS REQUESTS FOR INCLUSION IN THE PROGRAMME.

4.

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THE GOOD MORNING NEW ZEALAND INTERVIEW, BUT HOPE THAT WE CAN ARRANGE FOR IT TO BE CONDUCTED NEARER 8.30 AM THAN 8.10 AM EXCLAM.

WILSON
