FROM: R D CLIFT HKD DATE: 19 September 1
PRIME MINISTER'S VISIT TO CANADA AND THE US, 25-30 SEPTEMBER
1.
Your circular minute of 16 September covering the general
briefs refers.
Canada Brief: Para 12
2. I suggest the last sentence should read:
'We have previously kept them informed very generally at official level but are now ready to brief them at a high level and in more depth than hitherto'.
US Brief: Para 15
3.
I suggest replace with:
'The Americans are concerned about the future of Hong Kong where they have extensive interests. They are kept in the picture at a high level (Mr Bush, Mr Shultz and senior State Department Officials). A brief on the subject is being given very limited distribution.'
