Dear Gaminara,
Report on 1967 Disturbances.
20th June, 1969
S
Hong Kong
After the issue of our confidential report Disturbances 1967 - we received a number of requests from our diplomatic posts in S.E. Asia for extra copies and permission to pass them on to the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Security and to the Police in the countries to which they were accredited. Careful consideration was given to these requests and it was decided on balance that it would be better not to provide copies of the confidential report but to prepare a less sensitive version for such distribution. Four copies of this are attached and a list of addressees to whom we have sent copies is annexed.
2.
In effect, this report is no more than a slightly revised reprint of the first chapter of the 1967 Year Book, As such its wide distribution presents no problems. We do not intend, however, to let it be too generously circulated. This would negate the whole object of the exercise which is to satisfy enquiries from abroad without endangering our security in any way.
