FOLLOWING PERSONAL FOR GOVERNOR FROM HUM, HKD
YOUR TELNO 1404: VISIT TO HONG KONG BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE 1.
WE STILL AWAIT FORMAL CONFIRMATION FROM THE FILIPINOS, BUT IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE MANILA LEG OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S VISIT WILL BE FEASIBLE. THIS WOULD PERMIT HIM TO BE IN HONG KONG BETWEEN THE AFTERNOON OF 29 MAY AND THE EVENING OF 31 MAY, AS EARLIER DISCUSSED WITH YOU.
2.
WE NOW PLAN TO GO BACK TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE WITH MORE DETAILED IDEAS. IT WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL IF YOU COULD LET US HAVE YOUR THINKING ON THE ELEMENTS THAT MIGHT GO INTO HIS PROGRAMME DESKBY 15120OZ, SO THAT WE CAN SUBMIT FOR THE WEEKEND BOX.
