INFO PRIORITY BTC HONG KONG, UKREP JLG HONG KONG
YOUR TELNO 3238: VISIT OF LORD GLENARTHUR: 7-11 JANUARY 1989
TIMING FOR VISIT TO BRITISH JLG OFFICE NOTED. WE WILL INSERT IT INTO THE PROGRAMME FOR 5.45-6.15 PM, AND PUT BACK TO 6.30 PM THE DRINKS WITH CONSERVATIVES ABROAD.
2.
WE HAVE DISCUSSED THE DONATION OF COMPUTER EQUIPMENT WITH THE
BTC. BOTH OF US ARE DOUBTFUL ABOUT THE PRACTICALITY OF LORD
GLENARTHUR HANDING ANYTHING OVER ON SITE. IN FACT, THE SITE IS VIRTUALLY UNDEVELOPED, EXCEPT THAT THE LAND HAS BEEN FORMED. IT WOULD NOT, I THINK, BE AN APPROPRIATE SETTING FOR HANDING OVER COMPUTER EQUIPMENT. BTC HAVE SUGGESTED THAT YOU MAY WISH TO
CONSIDER TWO POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES: EITHER A CEREMONY WHEN LORD
GLENARTHUR VISITS THE BTC ON 10 JANUARY OR A BRIEF VISIT TO THE OFFICES OF THE HKUST PLANNING COMMITTEE, WHICH HAPPEN TO BE IN THE SAME BUILDING AS THE JLG OFFICE.
3. APOLOGIES FOR THE TRANSMISSION ERROR IN MY TELNO 4591. A CORRECTION HAS BEEN ISSUED.
