DOI TELNO INDUS 33 OF 5 FEBRUARY: OPENING OF CASTLE PEAK A STATION
WE HAVE NO OBJECTION TO YOUR CLEARING TECHNICAL POINT IN TUR
WITH CLP. HOWEVER I SUGGEST YOU DO NOT GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL
ABOUT THE CEREMONY. AS YOU KNOW, HONG KONG GOVERNMENT WILL BE RES-
PONSIBLE FOR PRIME MINISTER'S PROGRAMME, OF WHICH CASTLE PEAK
OPENING WILL BE JUST ONE ITEM, THOUGH AN IMPORTANT ONE. IT WILL
THEREFORE BE FOR HONG KONG GOVERNMENT TO LIAISE WITH CLP OVER TIMING
ETC OF CEREMONY IN DUE COURSE WHEN DATES FOR PRIME MINISTER'S VISIT
TO HONG KONG AND PROGRAMME CONTENT ARE DECIDED.
2. I AM SURE HOWEVER THAT YOU ARE IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH THE
GOVERNOR ON ALL THIS. THE IMPORTANT POINT IS TO AVOID GETTING ANY
ARRANGEMENTS SET IN CONCRETE AT THIS STAGE WITH KADOORIE OR
STONES WHICH MIGHT HAVE TO BE ALTERED SUBSTANTIALLY LATER,
POSSIBLY CAUSING THEM OFFENCE.
