CONFERENCE OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE,
HONG KONG, 20-24 NOVEMBER 1973
Department
Thank you for your letter of 5 October about
the arrangements for the opening of this Conference
and for all the trouble you have taken to look into
the background. We entirely take your point and are
satisfied about the arrangements.
George Foggon's original feeling that there was
some disappointment at the CBI arose from his
contacts with the Internațional Department there,
but since your letter arrived he has met Henniker-
Heaton, the President of the Textile Institute, on
another matter entirely. He took the opportunity
to mention the Hong Kong Conference. He found
Henniker-Heaton quite relaxed and well content with
the way things were going. The latter said, inter
alia, that the General Secretary of the Textile
Institute had been ill during the early part of the
year and that he himself had not taken over as
President until May.
You may find the enclosed note about Henniker-
Heaton's background of some use.
