IT LOOKS AS THOUGH, FOR TECHNICAL REASONS, THE SATELLITE LINK PRESS CONFERENCE SHOULD BE HELD AT BRITISH TELECOMS STUDIOS IN THE CITY OF LONDON. WE AND HKGO ARE INVESTIGATING WHETHER IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO HAVE THE HONG KONG TV AND RADIO INTERVIEWS THERE IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS. THE AFTERNOON PRESS CONFERENCE AND INTERVIEWS WOULD TAKE PLACE AT HKGO, WITH THE PRESS CONFERENCE CHAIRED BY PAUL BROWN AND THE COMMISSIONER ACCOMPANYING THE NEW GOVERNOR ON THE PLATFORM.
