(iii) The measure of UK support for Hong
Kong.
Mr. Jordan appeared to
accept that in the final analysis
the means open to the UK of
exerting pressure on Hong Kong's
behalf were limited. The
exclusion of textiles would
greatly soften the impact of any
discriminatory treatment of Hong
Kong and there might be other
products. Jordar discounted thearefaless of deploraté representations in foreyn capitals; "-"Britten suyjestad, on the other hard, that we should affect rule out sompletely such representations completely even mough their outcome might be dubious.
