3. A talking point brief will be required by the PUS; should reach his office by 1700 on Thursday 19 February.

4. Arrangements for appointments with Ministers for Governors about to travel to post seem to be falling between various different departments. I understand that neither HKGD nor Heads of Mission Section make these arrangements as a matter of course, as would be the case with Heads of Diplomatic posts. You saidthat you will be minuting to Mr Clift on this.
