We see this interview as an opportunity to thank Norway and Denmark for their support over the Falklands; to explain our case and outline our thoughts for the future; to put over our Community point of view in Denmark; and generally to repair our relative neglect of this part of the world. The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the arrangements for the interview and to alert you to a requirement we will have for briefing material. As soon as I receive on Thursday the full line
