GUANGDONG NUCLEAR PROJECT.

WHEN I SAW STONES ON 31 AUGUST CHEN GANG OF GPC WAS ALSO THERE. 2. IN REPLY TO MY QUESTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE MARSHALL VISIT CHEN GANG SAID THAT ALTHOUGH A FEW PEOPLE IN CHINA WOULD LIKE TO SEE MARSHALL LEAD THE UK/US NEGOTIATIONS THIS WAS NOT REPEAT NOT THE VIEW OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT. CHEN GANG ALSO SAID THAT HE HAD ONLY AGREED THAT THE WESTINGHOUSE PACKAGE WAS DESIRABLE WHEN MARSHALL HAD ASSURED HIM THAT THERE WOULD BE NO SERIOUS SAFEGUARD/INSPECTION DIFFICULTIES WITH THE US ADMINISTRATION. 3. CHEN GANG WAS OF COURSE ONLY A BRIEF PARTICIPANT IN THE MARSHALL DISCUSSIONS WITH LU YING AND THE STA AND HAS HIS OWN AXE TO GRIND BUT I THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD WISH TO BE AWARE OF THESE COMMENTS.

4. BOTH STONES AND CHEN GANG PRESSED ME ON THE FINANCIAL PACKAGE AND I CONFIRMED OUR AGREED INTEREST IN THE PROJECT AND THE DO'S EFFORTS TO PUT SOMETHING SATISFACTORY TOGETHER. I ALSO WARNED THAT THE SAFEGUARDS ISSUE WAS NOT YET RESOLVED (AS STONES OF COURSE ALREADY KNEW).
