1. THANK YOU FOR REFERENCE A. I AM GLAD THE PROPOSED APPROACH
AND TERMS OF REFERENCE ARE ACCEPTABLE TO YOU.
THE GOVERNOR
HAS PROPOSED SLIGHTLY AMENDED TERMS OF REFERENCE AFTER CONSULTATION WITH YOU. WE HOPE TO REPLY SHORTLY.
2. AS YOU WILL NOW KNOW, NO PREJUDGMENT ON THE MATTER OF 4 2/3 MAJOR UNITS IS INTENDED.
3. AS REGARDS DATE ON WHICH AD OF DP (C) TRAVELS TO HONG KONG, ARRIVAL BY 27 FEBRUARY IMPLIES DEPARTURE FROM UK ON 24 FEBRUARY. THIS GIVES INSUFFICIENT TIME FOR PROPER BRIEFING HERE AND IT IS ALSO RELEVANT THAT FIAL APPROVAL OF THE STUDY HAS NOT YET BEEN GIVEN. WE WOULD PROPOSE DEPARTURE BY NEXT AVAILABLE FLIGHT ON 27 FEBRUARY WHICH WOULD ALLOW AD OF DP (C) TO JOIN WORKING PARTY ON OR AFTER 1 MARCH. AS YOU KNOW WE ENVISAGE D31 AND FCO REPRESENTATIVES WOULD FOLLOW SLIGHTLY LATER.
