(C) THE BRITISH SIDE WOULD WISH SOME MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE AND LEGISLATIVE COUNCILS TO BE PRESENT. AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERNED
IT WILL BE ESSENTIAL THAT THEY SHOULD BE PLACED IN CONFORMITY
WITH THEIR POSITION IN HONG KONG AND IDENTIFIED AS MEMBERS OF THE COUNCILS.
5. I WILL NEED TO CONSULT EXCO ON THE ABOVE BEFORE ANY FURTHER
ACTION IS TAKEN IN PEKING. I COULD DO SO AT TOMORROW'S MEETING
