YRTELNOS 1792-36 MY VISIT TO LONDON: OCTOBER 1991

1. THANK YOU FOR THIS LATEST PROGRAMME INFORMATION. I AM SURPRISED THAT THE MOD PROPOSE TO RAISE BILATERAL ISSUES IN QUITE SUCH SPECIFIC TERMS. I HAD SUGGESTED A SEMINAR TYPE DISCUSSION ON HONG KONG TO PROVIDE USEFUL BACKGROUND FOR SENIOR OFFICIALS. IF MOD WISH TO RAISE THE SPECIFIC ISSUES I MENTIONED, I AM PREPARED TO TALK ABOUT THEM, BUT I DO NOT/NOT INTEND TO NEGOTIATE ANY OF THEM. THAT SHOULD BE FOR OTHERS.

2. IF WE ARE TO DISCUSS THE ISSUES LISTED, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW WHAT IN PARTICULAR MOD WISH TO RAISE UNDER ITEMS (D) AND (E) ON THEIR LIST. ALSO WHERE YOU HAVE GOT ON (C). GRATEFUL TOO IF YOU COULD HAVE BRIEF CVS ON THE VARIOUS MOD OFFICIALS AVAILABLE FOR ME WHEN I ARRIVE IN LONDON.
