SINCE I SPOKE TO CHEN ZIYING ON 12 JULY ABOUT THE NEED FOR A

QUICK DECISION IF LU PING WISHED TO MEET YOU ON 20 JULY I HAVE

HEARD NOTHING FROM THE HKMAO.

2.

I AM RELUCTANT TO PROD SINCE THIS MIGHT LEAD THE CHINESE TO SUPPOSE YOU ARE KEEN ON AN EARLY MEETING. IN ANY CASE I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED LU PING TO HAVE SPARKED BY NOW IF HE HAD REALLY

INTENDED TO TAKE YOUR OFFER OF A MEETING ON 20 JULY.
