YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT SECRETARY OF STATE'S FIRST REACTION TO
A SUBMISSION INFORMING HIM OF THE PRESENT SITUATION AND ENCOURAGING HIM TO BE NEGATIVE WHEN HE SEES THE CHINESE AMBASSADOR KEXT WEEK IS THAT HE IS NOT CONVINCED BY OFFICIAL VIEWS, HE HAS QUESTIONED PARTICULARLY WHETHER AN APPOINTMENT WOULD SEVERELY DAFAGE BUSINESS CONFIDENCE, ENQUIRED WHETHER YOU HAVE RECENTLY BEEN CONSULTED AND ADDS THAT THE VIEWS OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY WHILE IMPORTANT ARE NOT DECISIVE, IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES I AM SURE THAT YOU WILL FEEL THAT IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU SHOULD EXPRESS YOUR OWN VIEWS TO - HIM DURING YOUR FORTHCOMING VISIT. THE PURPOSE OF THIS TELEGRAM IS THEREFORE SIMPLY TO WARN YOU OF THE CLIMATE. OUR CUN VIEW HAS NOT CHANCED.
