1. Mr Luce has seen your submission of 29 July.

He agrees with the recommendation and is content that the telegram attached to your submission should issue, on the assumption that:

2.

(a) the arrangement does not go beyond the

Vienna Convention;

(b)

it will not cause unacceptable difficulties for our security people in Hong Kong, who will need to keep a tight eye on the Visa Office's activities.

If there is any doubt about the validity of either of these assumptions, I would be grateful if you could come back to me urgently.
