Record about the First Discussion on the Administrative Arrangement for the Presence of the Asian-African Conference
Vice-Ministers Ji [Pengfei] and Zhang:
Ji and Zhang have read and agreed. I have reported to the Premier.
Considering that the Premier is going to Indonesia to participate in the Asian-African Conference, Ambassador Huang Zhen suggested sending two cars (one bulletproof car) to Indonesia from China. We plan to reply that we will report immediately. We have discussed it with Comrade Cheng Ying. Not long ago, we ordered a Jis, which is to be shipped. Now we may order a bulletproof car. After the conference, the two cars shall be left for the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia, or the bulletproof car shall be sent back to China. What’s your opinion?

The suggestion has been reported to the Premier and the Premier instructed that the cars should not be sent to Indonesia from China so as to avoid the presence of the target earlier than the person. The premier also instructed to send a telegram to Ambassador Huang Zhen, informing him to buy a British car or other car, but not the American car, to use first. I have asked the General Affairs Department to draft the telegram.
