Mr DA Scott
Mr Logan
HONG KONG DEFENCE CONTRIBUTION
1. As a result of the decision of the Defence and Oversea
Policy Committee we drafted a telegram sticking closely to
the record of the discussion. We sent this to the Treasury
and the MOD for comments and then received Treasury views
as in Mr Brack's letter to Mr Gaminara of 27 July.
2.
After further discussion with both the Treasury and the
OD the attached draft has now been agreed by all concerned.
I hope we shall be able to get it away kter today.
