YOUR TELNO 2960: ANNUAL REPORT TO PARLIAMENT.
1. WE FEEL THE OPENING SENTENCES OF THE DRAFT ARE A LITTLE EUPHORIC, PARTICULARLY GIVEN THE SAD NOTE ON WHICH THE YEAR HAS ENDED. WE
WOULD THEREFORE PREFER THE FIRST SENTENCE TO READ
''1986 HAS BEEN A YEAR OF STEADY PROGRESS FOR HONG KONG,'
AND THE FOURTH SENTENCE TO BE AMENDED TO READ
''INVESTOR CONFIDENCE, BOTH LOCAL AND OVERSEAS, REMAINS GOOD, PARTICULARLY IN THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY.''
2. OTHERWISE WE ARE CONTENT.
