generating business, beginning with the construction and completion of
bil-fired units at Hok Un, and the large station on Tsing Yi Island which
most of you passed on your way here today, and continuing with the
building of this massive coal-fireo station here at Castle Peak.
My predecessors during the last eighteen years
-
Messrs. Westphal, Duncan
and Smith and my associates Mr. Jack Bennett, Senior Vice President of
Exxon and Mr. R.H. Herman, President of Esso Eastern who happily are all
present today for this historic occasion, can attest to the fact that in
Lord Kadoorie and China Light, Esso has been favoured with both an
outstanding leader and an impressive operating organization. Few private
companies in the world could have responded so successfully to the
enormous challenge of constructing a project of this magnitude, on
schedule and within budget.

It is therefore with very great pleasure and with the pride of a
successful partnership that, on behalf of all my associates in Esso, I now
ask Lord Kaooorie to introduce the Prime Minister, who will formally open
the Castle Peak 'A' Power Station and the EHV Network.
