2. I AM SORRY THAT DON MCKINNON AND SIR JAMES BELICH ARE NOT

GOING TO BE THERE DURING MY VISIT. BUT I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE ALTERNATIVE ARRANGEMENTS, AND FOR THE GAP YOU HAVE KEPT FREE ON THE THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

3. I WOULD BE PREPARED TO GIVE A RADIO INTERVIEW TO 'ORIENT EXPRESS'. I WOULD PREFER NOT TO ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS IN MANDARIN AND WOULD NOT WISH IT TO LAST MORE THAN ABOUT 15 MINUTES. IT CERTAINLY MAKES THE MOST SENSE FOR THE INTERVIEW TO BE BROADCAST DURING MY VISIT. BUT BEING SO, I WOULD BE CONTENT FOR THE INTERVIEW TO BE ARRANGED ON WEDNESDAY, 20 NOVEMBER AT ABOUT 1600, SHORTLY BEFORE I SET OFF FOR MY CALL ON DR DON BRASH.
