We have seen CINCFE telegram SEACOS No. 98 to
Ministry of Defence about psychological operations in Hong Kong.
2. We shall doubtless be asked for our views on these proposals but before expressing any opinion we shall need to know circumstances which have caused you to seek military assistance of this nature and degree of importance you attach to obtaining it.
3. We should also be grateful for brief outline of your own psychological operations programme and of manner in which any military assistance would fit in with that programme. We assume you are satisfied that conduct of military operations of this nature would not give rise to difficulties in present circumstances?
