MY TRAVEL PLANS FOR 1993 AND 1994.
1. MIFT CONTAINS AN OUTLINE OF MY PROVISIONAL TRAVEL PLANS FOR 1993, EXCLUDING ANY VISITS TO PEKING AND OTHER PARTS OF CHINA, ON WHICH I WILL TELEGRAPH SEPARATELY.
2. AS YOU KNOW, THE TIMING OF MY FIRST VISIT TO THE U.S. NEXT YEAR DEPENDS ON WHEN I CAN SEE PRESIDENT CLINTON. PURELY FOR PLANNING PURPOSES, WE HAVE, AFTER CONSULTING WASHINGTON, PENCILLED INTO MY DIARY A VISIT TO WASHINGTON AND NEW YORK BETWEEN 16 AND 19 FEBRUARY, ALTHOUGH I REALISE THAT THIS MAY WELL NEED TO BE CHANGED. DURING THIS FIRST TRIP, I WOULD LIKE TO MEET KEY CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS INCLUDING HOUSE SPEAKER FOLEY, SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCHELL AND SENATE MINORITY LEADER DOLE, AND WOULD LIKE IF POSSIBLE TO TAKE UP AN INVITATION TO SPEAK TO THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB. IF FOR ANY REASON THE FEBRUARY VISIT DOES NOT MATERIALISE, I WOULD PROPOSE TO ADD NEW YORK INTO THE LATER VISIT PLANNED FOR MAY.
3. I AM PLANNING TO ATTEND THE UK-JAPAN 2000 GROUP ANNUAL MEETING IN TOKYO BETWEEN 5 AND 8 MARCH. I AM THINKING OF PROBABLY COMBINING THIS WITH A VISIT TO KOREA, WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT TRADING PARTNER. GRATEFUL FOR YOUR AND SEOUL'S ADVICE ON WHETHER THIS WOULD CAUSE ANY POLITICAL DIFFICULTIES.
4. I HAVE BLOCKED OFF 5-9 APRIL, THE WEEK BEFORE THE EASTER HOLIDAYS, FOR A TRIP TO LONDON. IF POSSIBLE, I WOULD LIKE TO COMBINE THIS WITH A ONE DAY VISIT TO BRUSSELS ON 2 APRIL, MAINLY
TO MEET SENIOR EC FIGURES. GRATEFUL FOR BRUSSELS' ADVICE ON
WHETHER THIS IS FEASIBLE.
