YOUR TELNO 865: SECRETARY OF STATE'S MEETING WITH WU XUEQIAN :
GREEN PAPER ON REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT.
117A
بهم
IF WU ASKED ALONG THE LINES OF PARA 1 OF TUR, THE SECRETARY OF
STATE COULD REFER TO PARAS 23 AND 5 OF ANNEX B TO THE PAPER ON
CONVERGENCE WHICH SUMMARISE THE AREAS LIKELY TO BE COVERED IN THE
1987 GREEN PAPER. PARA. 6 OF THAT ANNEX ADDS THAT THE POSITION OF
THE GOVERNOR IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE RAISED IN THE GREEN PAPER. NOR
WILL THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL LIKELY BE CHANGED (PARA 10).
2. ON PRESENTATION, THE SECRETARY OF STATE COULD SAY THAT IT WAS
TOO EARLY TO DECIDE ON HOW BEST THE 1987 GREEN PAPER SHOULD BE
PRESENTED TO THE PUBLIC IN HONG KONG. THE HKG'S TENTATIVE IDEA AT
THIS STAGE IS THAT THE GREEN PAPER SHOULD SET OUT A RANGE OF
POSSIBILITIES FOR CHANGE, BUT SHOULD NOT MAKE SPECIFIC PROPOSALS
INDICATING THE GOVERNMENT'S PREFERENCE.
3. AM OF COURSE AVAILABLE FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION AFTER MY ARRIVAL
