letter of 10 July about the role Kong in the 1990s.
The Prime Minister agrees with the conclusion that we should leave our options open on the role of the Governor, not raise the question with the Chinese now, but not take any action that would rule out the possibility of an elected governorship before 1997.
I am sending a copy of this letter to the other Private. Secretaries of OD(K).
