BRITISH ELECTION RESULT
Comment by the Prime Minister, Mr._ ohn Gorton,
I warmly congratulate Mr. Heath on his electoral success and
on his becoming Prime Minister. I have had a number of opportunities
both in Britain and Australia to get to know him. As a personality he is
familiar to all Australians not only in his capacity as a British political
leader but as a sportsman. His recent visit to Australia and his close
personal links here mean that he carries with him in his task o Prime
Minister of one of the world's most influential nations a first hand experience
of Australia and its people. I look forward to a close and fruitful collaboration
with him on a wide range of matters of particular and mutual interest to our
two countries.
CANBERRA June 1970 The Prime Minister has sent a personal message of congratulation
to Mr. Heath.
