REGISTRY Action Taken
FOLLOWING FOR PS/GOVERNOR FROM HUM, HKD
YOUR TELNO 3291: SECRETARY OF STATE'S VISIT TO HONG KONG
1.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE IS INCLINED TO AGREE TO SEE SIR Y
K PAO BRIEFLY AT THE AIRPORT ON 12 OCTOBER, UNLESS THE GOVERNOR
ADVISES STRONGLY AGAINST THIS. IT OCCURS TO US, IN PARTICULAR
GIVEN SIR Y K'S SURPRISING WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PROGRAMME FOR THE
STATE VISIT, THAT THERE COULD CONCEIVABLY BE SOME CONNECTION WITH
THE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS OVER WHICH I HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH
THE GOVERNOR.
2.
}
WE APPRECIATE THAT THE MEETING WOULD NEED TO BE VERY
DISCREETLY ARRANGED (AND THAT SIR Y K SHOULD KEEP IT TO HIMSELF)
TO ENSURE THAT NO COMPARISONS ARE DRAWN WITH OUR RESPONSE TO
MARTIN LEE'S REQUEST (YOUR TELNO 3299).
