Mr Goodlad is seeing the Chinese charge d'affaires at 10am tomorrow morning and will hand over speaking notes on the above subject and Mr Chong Kwee Sung. I enclose our draft speaking note, which is an adaptation of the speaking note which you used with the NCNA on 9 July. If there are any important developments or if there is anything which really ought to be added or deleted, perhaps you could let us know deskby 160730Z. We have not referred to options B and C

(your telno 1151) so as to avoid anticipating your own formulation of this approach.

Yours ever
