FOR PAUL HKD, FROM GOVERNOR
YOUR TELNO 526: FAC ENQUIRY INTO HONG KONG
IN THE LIGHT OF THE FAC'S REQUESTS IN TUR, I PROPOSE TO VISIT LONDON FROM 21-23 MARCH. I AIM TO ARRIVE IN LONDON ON 21 MARCH BY BA 20 AT 06.40 AM AND LEAVE ON 23 MARCH BY CX 200 AT 11 AM.
2. I SHOULD LIKE IF POSSIBLE TO CALL ON ROBIN MCLAREN AND YOURSELF BEFORE SEEING THE FAC. SINCE I ASSUME YOU WILL BOTH BE TIED UP WITH THE FAC ON 22 MARCH (AM), WOULD IT SUIT YOU IF WE MEET ON 21 MARCH DESPITE PROBABLY JET-LAG ON MY PART? THE SECRETARY OF STATE MIGHT ALSO WISH TO HAVE A WORD IF HIS DIARY PERMITS. AT ALL THESE MEETINGS I WOULD AIM TO CONCENTRATE ON THE FAC ENQUIRY, UNLESS OTHER VERY URGENT HONG KONG BUSINESS ARISES IN THE MEANTIME.
3. ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SECOND SESSION WITH THE COMMITTEE ON 7 JUNE CAN BE FINALISED NEARER THE TIME. MY TRAVEL PLANS WILL HAVE TO DEPEND IN PART ON WHETHER THE GENEVA CONFERENCE GOES AHEAD ON 13-14 JUNE. IF IT DOES I MAY, AGAIN HAVE TO ALTER MY PLANS TO VISIT CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM OF BEING AWAY FROM HONG KONG FOR TOO LONG.
