WE AGREE THAT ACCOMMODATION AND SUBSISTENCE ALLOWANCE FOR MR BAO
WOULD BE AT SAME LEVEL AS THAT OF HOME OFFICE REPRESENTATIVE WHOM
HE IS ACCOMPANYING.
2. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT THE DAILY RATE SHOULD BE SO THAT FUNDS CAN
BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR MR BAO ON HIS ARRIVAL. IMMIGRATION
DEPARTMENT HAS MADE A PROVISIONAL BOOKING FOR MR LOVE AND MR
BAO FROM 6 JANUARY 1980 AT THE HARBOUR HOTEL LUK KWOK IS FULL.
PLEASE ASK HOME OFFICE TO CONFIRM ALL ARRANGEMENTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THROUGH DIRECT CHANNEL WITH IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENT.

ON ARRIVAL HERE IF MR BAO BRINGS HIS CONVENTION DOCUMENT.
4. WE SUPPORT THE IDEA OF MR BAO VISITING RECEPTION CENTRES.
IF HE CAN BRING MESSAGES FROM REFUGEES TO FRIENDS WHO MAY BE HERE,
