July 18, 1955	Minutes of Conversation between Premier Zhou Enlai and British Charge d’Affaires Con O’Neill O’Neill passed on a draft joint news release from the US regarding the date of the first Sino-US Ambassadorial Talk.

He did not accept the explanation from O’Neill regarding the draft per se and the name the US used in the draft.
