MR LUCE'S VISIT TO HONG KONG
PROGRAMME
1.
FROM: R D CLIFT, HKD DATE: 6 February 1984
cc: Mr Donald
Mr Thomson, FED
Mr Roberts, News Dept Protocol Dept
Hong Kong telno 244 suggests an outline programme for Mr Luce's visit to Hong Kong. It now includes a press conference, a reception with community leaders, a lunch with a group of middle management business people (presumably most, if not all, Hong Kong Chinese) and a visit to a District. This seems to meet Mr Luce's wish to meet a broad range of people in Hong Kong.
2.
Hong Kong have asked whether Mr Luce would like a dinner arranged by the Chief Secretary on Saturday 25 February. Given that the following day will be a quiet one, I think that this might be useful. One possibility would be a dinner with leading businessmen (including Mr David Davies).
3.
I should be grateful to know Mr Luce's views on these points and whether there are any other people whom he would specifically like to meet. We shall then reply to Hong Kong.
BRIEFING
We propose to provide the briefing on the following subjects for Mr Luce:
Steering brief (with programme and personality notes); Future of Hong Kong;
Nationality
Vietnamese refugees;
