THERE ARE OTHER POSSIBILITIES INCLUDING OF COURSE THE DEUTSCHE BANK. AGAIN, THERE WOULD BE NO DIFFICULTY OVER INCLUDING PEOPLE ALREADY INVITED. OPTIONS II) AND III) WOULD INVOLVE A SPEECH.
4.
RECENT SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLES OF I) IS THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER ON 19 JULY THIS YEAR, OF II) SIR GEOFFREY HOWE AS DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER, AND SIR LEON BRITTAN IN 1990, AND LORD WALKER IN 1993, AND OF III) A TRANSPORT FORUM ATTENDED BY THE MINISTER OF TRANSPORT AND EC COMMISSIONER, VAN MIERT IN NOVEMBER 1991 (BCCG/DRESDNER). THE DRESDNER BANK ALSO HOSTED HRH THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH IN APRIL THIS YEAR.
5. GRATEFUL FOR EARLY DECISION. PREPARATIONS FOR OPTIONS II) AND III) WOULD NEED TO BE PUT IN HAND BEFORE THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS.
6.
I ASSUME THAT I SHOULD NOW SEEK A CALL ON THE PRESIDENT OF THE BUNDESBANK (DR HANS TIETMEYER WILL BE OFFICIALLY INSTALLED ON 1 OCTOBER) FOR MONDAY MORNING. GRATEFUL TO KNOW IF THE GOVERNOR WOULD NEED OUR ASSISTANCE OVER MEDIA INTERVIEWS.
7. WE WILL PUT FORWARD SUGGESTIONS SEPARATELY FOR MRS PATTEN'S PROGRAMME ON MONDAY MORNING, NOT ENTIRELY STRAIGHTFORWARD, BECAUSE MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES ARE SHUT IN GERMANY ON MONDAYS.
FORM, IT WOULD NOT BE USUAL FOR MRS PATTEN TO GO TO THE BUNDESBANK.
