1. MANY THANKS. IT WOULD NOW SUIT BEST IF MILTON COULD COME OUT FOR THE LAST WEEK OF JUNE AND THE FIRST WEEK OF JULY. IF THIS IS ACCEPTABLE, HE WOULD PLAN TO ARRIVE BY BA 834 AT 19.23 HOURS ON THURSDAY 24 JUNE (ETA TO BE CONFIRMED LATER). GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD ARRANGE ACCOMMODATION.
2. WE SHOULD LIKE MILTON TO CONCENTRATE HIS ATTENTION ON MATTERS WHICH GIVE RISE TO PARLIAMENTARY/PRESS INTEREST IN THIS COUNTRY. IN PREPARING A PROGRAMME, GRATEFUL THEREFORE IF YOU WOULD ARRANGE FOR HIM TO SEE SOMETHING OF THE FOLLOWING:-
(1) THE WORKING OF INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS LEGCO, UMELCO, MAC'S ETC. (11) LABOUR DEPARTMENT:
(111) IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENT, IN PARTICULAR HANDLING OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CASES. A VISIT TO THE BORDER, IF POSSIBLE, WOULD BE WELCOME:
(IV) CORRUPTION AND LAW AND ORDER GENERALLY, INCLUDING THE WORK OF THE ICAC, SPECIAL BRANCH AND THE RHKPF:
(V) FINANCE BRANCH AND:
(VI) COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY DEPARTMENT (TEXTILES).
IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THE PROGRAMME COULD ALLOW FOR, SAY, TWO CLEAR DAYS AT THE END OF THE FORTNIGHT FOR MILTON TO HAVE A SECOND GO AT ANY MATTERS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST WHICH ARISE
DURING HIS VISIT.
