1.

I HAVE NOW BEEN OFFERED AN APPOINTMENT TO CALL ON JIANG ENZHU AT 0900 (LOCAL) ON 24 DECEMBER. ALTHOUGH I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TO TAKE ACTION EARLIER THAN THIS, I INTEND TO ACCEPT RATHER THAN BE OBLIGED TO MAKE MY POINTS AT A LOWER LEVEL.

2.

THIS TIMING WOULD ENABLE ME TO MAKE A DEMARCHE TO JIANG ON INSTRUCTIONS IF AN ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW PREPARATORY BODY EMERGES FROM THE NPC STANDING COMMITTEE MEETING OVER THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
