MANAGEMENT SURVEY: HONG KONG

1. You may wish to see Mr Clinton's most recent letter of

16 March to me. I do not think there is sufficient hard

information in it to merit submission further, though the

details of the proposed modifications to Ex Co and Leg Co

will be important when we get them. I am dealing with his

paragraph 2 separately on staffing papers arising from

Sir D Watson's recent meeting.

2. You may wish also to glance at Mr Clinton's rather

discursive letter to his Heads of Department (I hope he

does not count the Commissioner of Police as such, as the

letter is rude about him); but it also tells us nothing new

of substantial importance.
