WASHINGTON TELNO 1148 AND PEKING TELNO 714: HONG KONG: POSSIBLE BILATERAL BETWEEN THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND THE CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTER

1 LIKE SIR R MCLAREN, I DO NOT THINK THAT THE TIME IS YET RIGHT TO PROPOSE A MEETING WITH QIAN QICHEN. DEPENDING ON HOW OUR TALKS WITH THE CHINESE DEVELOP, THE CASE FOR SUCH A MEETING MAY STRENGTHEN IN DUE COURSE. I SUGGEST WE LOOK AGAIN AT THIS POSSIBILITY IN THE LIGHT OF DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FOURTH ROUND. MEANWHILE, I HOPE THE SECRETARY OF STATE CAN LEAVE OPEN THE WINDOW IN HIS DIARY.
