If the Soviet side raise the question of visas
for Hong Kong, they should be firmly reminded that
there are normal channels through which these issues
are settled. Should they raise the ship repair
problem, it should be pointed out to them that the
Hong Kong Government is discussing its requirements
locally with the Soviet Ships' Agents. In general,
any complaint or proposal relating to Hong Kong
should be countered by the statement that the Colony
is self-evidently a special case, and that these are
questions for the Hong Kong Government
