PERSONAL FOR WILSON, AUSS
1.
IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR ME TO KNOW, IF NECESSARY ON A PERSONAL BASIS, SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT TRANSPIRED OVER FUTURE RELATED ISSUES DURING THE GOVERNOR'S RECENT VISIT TO LONDON.

2. YOUR TEL NO 135 (FROM HONG KONG DEPARTMENT), TO WHICH I AM REPLYING SEPARATELY, SUGGESTS TO ME THAT THE 1987 REVIEW MIGHT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED IN TERMS WHICH WILL MAKE IT NECESSARY FOR US TO SAY SOMETHING UNPALATABLE TO THE CHINESE BEFORE TOO LONG. IF I AM RIGHT ABOUT THIS, I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON THEIR LIKELY REACTIONS.
