1. HK GIS ARE SENDING YOU 20 COPIES OF THEIR COMPREHENSIVE SUMMARY OF HK MEDIA REACTION ON BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. IN ADDITION TO DISTRIBUTING COPIES TO HKD, FED AND PS/MR LUCE, THE SECRETARY OF STATE SUGGESTS THAT COPIES SHOULD BE SENT TO:

COVER OF A LETTER FROM MR LUCE, DESIGNED TO BRING OUT IMPLICITLY THE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE ACTUAL REACTION IN HK AND THE REACTION REPORTED (IN ACCURATE AND SNIDE TERMS) BY SIMON WINCHESTER AND EDWARD STEEN.
✓11) THE MAIN CORRESPONDENTS WHO TAKE A SPECIALIST INTEREST IN
HK (EG MARK SCHREIBER).
THE SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD ALSO BE GRATEFUL IF MR LUCE WOULD CONSIDER WHETHER IT WAS WORTH MAKING THIS MATERIAL AVAILABLE, PERHAPS IN SUMMARY FORM, TO MEMBERS OF ODK AND SOME OF THOSE WHOM HE WILL BE BRIEFING THIS WEEK.
