Dear Barbara

WITHDRAWAL OF THE GARRISON

1. In a recent telegram it was stated that we have only committed ourselves to informing and not consulting the Chinese over our plans. That is certainly my

recollection, but given recent history I should be grateful If you could check your records and confirm that this is in fact the case.
