Dear Mr Luce,

You will be aware of my recent visit to Peking with my UMELCO colleagues Miss Lydia DUNN and Mr. Q.W. LEE; a translation of our Speaking Note for the meeting with Chairman DENG Xiaoping and Mr. JI Pengfei is attached.

In the course of the visit we made three major proposals which we believe would enhance the confidence of the people of Hong Kong in their future. They are recorded at page 3 onwards in the Speaking Note and a copy of the Note was passed to Chairman DENG and Mr. JI. The Chinese leaders appeared to accept the first proposal and showed a willingness to consider the other two.
The South China Morning Post of 6th July 1984 published the results of a further opinion survey conducted by an independent firm SRH (Survey Research Hong Kong Limited). According to the SCMP, the opinion poll this time consulted by telephone a random sample of 1,010 local people from a wide cross-section of ages (19 & above), income-levels and backgrounds. The survey shows 74% expressed agreement with proposal (1) and 78% and 61% with proposals (2) and (3) respectively. A photo copy of the SCMP report on the survey is also attached.
I am writing separately to the Foreign Secretary on similar lines.
With personal regards,
Yours sincerely,
Folding
