Problem

(b) Election of first CE

(Draft NPC Resolution)

(i)

CONFIDENTIAL

- 2

-

Preferred Redraft

(d) All members of the SAR legislature to

be returned by universal suffrage as from fourth term (2007);

Possible Channels

Unclear whether the

Election Committee

(CE) would be formed

by the PC in a

democratic and open

manner. Also the

reference to the

selection of the CE by

"consultation" does

not add credence to

the scheme.

Method of selecting the first CE should be along the same lines as that proposed for selection the second and third CES.

- Zhou Nan's visit to UK

- Governor's possible visit to

Peking

- JLG private meetings - Zheng Weirong

CONFIDENTIAL
