(x25)
TO IMMEDIATE HONG KONG TELNO 931 OF 3 DECEMBER
FOLLOWING FOR WIGGHAM, SECURITY BRANCH, FROM DAVIES
DEFENCE COSTS AGREEMENT:
THE REVISED PLAN 'C'' FOR SHAM SHUI PO SEEMS INCORRECT.
IT ERRONEOUSLY EXCLUDES THE AREA CURRENTLY OCCUPIED
BY MARITIME TROOP. DID WE NOT AGREE THAT THIS AREA
WOULD BE RELEASED BY 31 DECEMBER 1977?
2. WOULD YOU ALSO CHECK WITH BRAMWELL WHETHER
IT IS WISE TO LET A MAINTENANCE CONTRACT FOR MILITARY
BUILDINGS FOR AS LONG AS THREE YEARS. HE MENTIONED
THIS AT OUR MEETING WITH HQBF AND PSA ON 1 DECEMBER
AND 1 MEANT TO TAKE THIS UP.
3- ARE YOU SATISFIED THAT THE WORD
'BALANCE''
IN PARA. 18 OF THIRD DRAFT OF THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL
PROCEDURES EXCLUDES COMMITTED BUT UNSPENT FUNDS? PARA. 5
OF JENNEY'S VERSION OF ANNEX B TO MOU ALSO REFERS.
4.
IS THIRD DRAFT OF THIS STATEMENT AGREED BY
ALL PARTIES IN HONG KONG?
5. FINALLY, COULD YOU SAY WHEN YOU EXPECT TO
BE IN POSITION TO TELEGRAPH DRAFT STATEMENT OF WORKS
PROCEDURES.
