1. DPA'S DECISION TO USE A LOCAL PHOTGRAPHER CREATES A SLOT FOR AN ADDITIONAL JOURNALIST WHICH MIGHT USEFULLY BE FILLED BY SOMEONE FROM THE SUEDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG (SZ). GRATEFUL IF MUNICH WOULD TAKE ACTION WITH THE SZ ACCORDINGLY. AS WE UNDERSTAND FROM FRANKFURT (TELECON CLARK/MOTT) THAT ZDF ARE UNLIKELY TO BE INTERESTED, WE THINK IT BETTER TO SHELVE THE IDEA OF INVITING A TV CREW TO HONG KONG FOR THE MOMENT.
2. WHEN WE KNOW THE RESULTS OF ALL OUR APPROACHES TO THE MEDIA (OUR TELNO 536 TO DUSSELDORF) WE CAN DECIDE WHETHER A GROUP OR INDIVIDUAL VISIT(S) WOULD BE MORE ADVANTAGEOUS (PARA 2 OF HONG KONG TELNO 6 TO BONN). GRATEFUL IF THOSE POSTS WHO HAVE YET TO REPORT COULD DO SO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
