DESK OFFICER BOTA

1.
I ACCEPT THE ADVICE CONTAINED IN GIS TELEX OF 16 FEBRUARY
TO BROWN AT THE HKGO NOT (NOT) TO GIVE INDIVIDUAL PRESS
INTERVIEWS PRIOR TO MY DEPARTURE. I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF GIS
WOULD EXPLAIN THIS TO THOSE JOURNALISTS WHO HAVE ALREADY ASKED
FOR INTERVIEWS AND ANY WHO MAY DO SO IN THE FUTURE.
2. GIS COULD EXPLAIN THAT I DO NOT THINK IT WOULD BE
APPROPRIATE TO GIVE ON THE RECORD INTERVIEWS COVERING POLICY
ISSUES BEFORE ASSUMING OFFICE AND SEEING THINGS FOR MYSELF. AS
FOR PERSONAL BACKGROUND THAT IS BEING COVERED BY THE RTHK FILM
WHICH WILL BE SHOWN SHORTLY BEFORE MY ARRIVAL IN HONG KONG.
