MANY THANKS FOR THIS RESPONse. SCHREIBER NOW TELLS US THAT HE
IS FULLY COMMITTED ON THE EVENING OF 28 OCTOBER AND MUCH REGRETS
THEREFORE THAT HE CANNOT ACCEPT THE GOVERNOR'S KIND INVITATION.
HE HAS HOWEVER ASKED WHETHER IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR A
15 MINUTE SLOT TO BE FOUND IN MR RENTON'S PROGRAMME ON 28 OR
29 OCTOBER FOR HIM TO ADDRESS A GROUP OF EIGHT US INVESTMENT
FUND MANAGERS, TO WHOM SCHREIBER IS PLAYING HOST IN HONG KONG.
HE BELIEVES THAT THIS GROUP, WHICH IS SEEING SIR J BREMRIDGE
AND OTHER PROMINENT HONG KONG PEOPLE, COMMAND INVESTMENT FUNDS OF
SOME DOLLARS 30 BILLION AND WOULD REACT FAVOURABLY TO A BRIEFING
FROM THE MINISTER.
·2.
I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD PUT THIS TO THE GOVERNOR
IN NEUTRAL TERMS. MR RENTON WOULD BE CONTENT TO ADDRESS
SCHREIBER'S GROUP IF TIME COULD BE FOUND WITHOUT DIFFICULTY, BUT
WOULD NOT WISH OTHER ENGAGEMENTS TO BE DISPLACED, OR ANY
INCONVENIENCE TO BE CAUSED TO THE GOVERNOR.

3. SCHREIBER IS STAYING AT THE EXCELSIOR FROM 24 31 OCTOBER, EXCEPT FOR 28 29 OCTOBER, WHEN HE WILL BE WITH HIS INVESTMENT
FUND TEAM AT THE MANDARIN.
