THE, HONG KONG REPRESENTATIVE ALSO SUGGESTED THAT WE SHOULD
SEEK IMMEDIATE RIGHTS FOR A HONG KONG-BASED CARRIER TO OPERATE
SAY ONCE A WEEK FROM HONG KONG TO PEKING ON THE GROUNDS
THAT THIS WOULD DO A GREAT DEAL TO MOLLIF Y HONG KONG PUBLIC
OPINION. MY OWN VIEW AND THAT OF ROGERS IS THAT PRESSURE ON OUR
PART FOR THIS FURTHER CONCESSION FROM THE CHINESE WOULD BE PUTTING
TOO MUCH TRAFFIC ON THE BRIDGE AND WOULD BE COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE. ON THE OTHERHAND I DO NOT RULE OUT AN EXPLORATORY QUESTION ZF
THIS ASPECT AFTER WE HAVE SEEN WHAT CAN BE OBTAINED ON THE POINTS
IN PARAGRAPH 4 ABOVE.
6.
GRATEFUL FOR YOUR EARLY CONFIRMATION THAT THIS IS HOW WE
SHOULD PROCEED.
