Editorial comments:

The attached paper is probably the one mentioned by Weston in his cover note, but the manuscript amendment is not to be found in it, leaving the matter uncertain.

Acland's annotation shows that the briefing was overtaken by events, the relevant matters having been dealt with the night before.
