JOHN GARDINER, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE LAIRD GROUP (WHICH INCL IDES METRO-CAMMELL) WILL BE IN HONG KONG, 8-13 JANUARY. HE HAS APPROACHED US WITH REQUEST THAT ARRANGEMENTS BE MADE FOR HIM TO MEET THE GOVERNOR AND THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY. WE HAVE OF COURSE EMPHASISED THAT THE TRA IS INDEPENDENT OF THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT AND ALTHOUGH GARDINER APPRECIATES THIS, HE WOULD STILL LIKE TO PROCEED WITH THESE MEETINGS IF POSSIBLE. GRATEFUL YOU TAKE SOUNDINGS TO ESTABLISH WHETHER SUCH MEETINGS WOULD BE POSSIBLE. GARDINER ALREADY HAS ENGAGEMENTS OF MORNINGS OF 10 AND 11 JANUARY. GRATEFUL FOR REPLY IN FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY.
