1. ST CHAU, CHAIRMAN OF 1997 ACTION GROUP, RECENTLY SPOKE TO
HIS MP, MR TIMOTHY RAISON. HE SAID HE WAS INTENDING TO RETURN TO
HONG KONG SOON AND WOULD LIKE TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE EXECUTIVE
OR LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. HE ALSO WANTED TO TALK TO A MINISTER.
MR RAISON DID NOT ENCOURAGE THESE IDEAS. HE HAS WRITTEN TO MR
LUCE TO SAY THAT MR CHAU STRIKES HIM AS INTELLIGENT IF AWKWARD,
WITH A GENUINE INTENT TO BE ACTIVE IN HONG KONG POLITICS, AND
ASKED IF IT WOULD BE WORTH HIS TALKING TO, SAY, THE POLITICAL
ADVISER ON RETURN TO HONG KONG.
2.
I SEE NO REASON WHY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS SHOULD BE MADE FOR
CHAU, PARTICULARLY IN VIEW OF HIS RECENT VISIT TO HONG KONG.
BUT YOU MAY WISH TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH HIM AFTER HIS ARRIVAL.
GRATEFUL FOR COMMENTS AND FOR DETAILS OF WHOM CHAU SAW DURING
HIS VISIT, DESKBY 221200Z.
SIGNED R JF HOARE
