4. HEWITT'S TELELETTER OF 9 JUNE. I SEE NO OBJECTION AT ALL TO RAISING THE PIRACY ISSUE, EITHER AT THE EC/ASEAN MINISTERIAL IN OCTOBER OR AT THE PMC IN JULY. IN SOME WAYS THE LATTER MAY BE THE BETTER FORUM, SINCE IT WILL DEAL WITH REGIONAL SECURITY ISSUES AND OTHER COUNTRIES, SUCH AS THE JAPANESE, WHO HAVE A DIRECT INTEREST IN THE MATTER, WILL ALSO BE PRESENT.
