MOST IMMEDIATE

Your 397. [1] While appreciating your administrative difficulties
delay in report has placed us in embarrassing position as previous
advice was to the effect India would not refer the matter to the
Security Council. If not too late please immediately inform Bajpai
that we would like the opportunity of commenting on the form in
which they propose referring the matter to the Security Council
and recommendations that they hope the Security Council will make.

Please reply Wednesday morning Canberra time.
