YOUR TELNO 618: GOVERNORS VISIT

FOR RICKETTS, HKD.

LONDON

30 JUNE-2 JULY.

FROM LLEWELLYN

AND TO FRASER, SPECIAL ADVISERS.

1.

THANK YOU FOR TUR. 1615-1700 ON 30 JUNE IS FINE FOR A PRIVATE MEETING BETWEEN THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND THE GOVERNOR. AS YOU SAY, THE GOVERNOR WILL SEE MR.GOODLAD AT MEETINGS ON 1 JULY AND FOR LUNCH ON THAT DATE.

2.

AS FAR AS THE MEETING WITH LADY CHALKER IS CONCERNED, I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH SEPARATELY WITH LADY CHALKER'S OFFICE. WE PROPOSED PROVISIONALLY 0930-1000 ON FRIDAY 2 JULY, PENDING A REPLY FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE ON THE TIMING OF HIS PRIVATE MEETING WITH THE GOVERNOR. COULD I ASK YOU TO CONFIRM THAT TIME WITH LADY CHALKER'S OFFICE QUERY. IT WOULD SUIT THE GOVERNOR BEST IF THE MEETING COULD TAKE PLACE AT LADY CHALKER'S OFFICE AT THE FCO, AS THE GOVERNOR WILL BE COMING DIRECTLY FROM NO.10.

3.

THE GOVERNOR WAS GRATEFUL TO MR.GOODLAD FOR HIS INVITATION

-

〆

TO JOIN HIS MEETING WITH LADY CHALKER ON 1 JULY (YOUR TELNO 612 ។

REFERS). HE HAS INTERVIEWS SCHEDULED JUST BEFORE THAT TIME, AND WOULD PREFER TO KEEP THAT HALF HOUR FREE BEFORE HIS MEETING WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE AT 0930.
