TO PRIORITY F C O TELEGRAM NUMBER 636 OF 11 JUNE INFO PRIORITY HONG KONG GOVERNMENT OFFICE (PERSONAL TO KIDD) F C O'PLEASE PASS,
FOR STUART FROM SCOTT.
YOUR LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR OF 28 MAY ABOUT DIRECTOR OF
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION, I RECEIVED SAME DAY LETTER FROM WADDELL OF HOME OFFICE SUGGESTING HOWELL PROMOTED TO RANK OF COMMANDER
MIGHT PROVE ACCEPTABLE. THIS SEEMS VERY LIKELY.
2. 1 HAVE DISCUSSED FURTHER WITH SLEVIN. WE SHALL BE GRATEFUL
IF KIDD, MACOUN AND YOURSELF WOULD INTERVIEW HOWELL AND LET US HAVE YOUR ASSESSMENT, DETAILED TERMS OF APPOINTMENT WOULD
FOLLOW IF NOWELL IS SUITABLE. MEANWHILE, THE SEARCH FOR OTHER
CANDIDATES MENTIONED IN MY LETTER TO PETERSON NATURALLY
WOULD NOT PROCEED AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE WRITTEN TO WADDELL ACCORDINGLY, IT WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL IF YOU WOULD LET HIM KNOW THE POSITION WHEN YOU RECEIVETHIS TELEGRAM.
3. WE REQUEST KIDD KINDLY TO ARRANGE AND CHAIR THE INTERVIEW
AS OUR REPRESENTATIVE.
4. THE GOVERNOR IS AWARE OF THE FOREGOING.
