MY TELNO 4273 OF 21 NOVEMBER 1988: TRAVEL PLANS FOR 1989
I HAVE NOW GONE FIRM ON MY PLANS FOR A VISIT TO THE EAST COAST OF THE US IN THE WEEK BEGINNING 12 JUNE. MY AIM WOULD BE TO ARRIVE IN WASHINGTON ON BA 217 AT 18.30 ON 10 JUNE, FLY TO NEW YORK ON PA 258 ARRIVING AT 1629 ON 14 JUNE AND TO OTTAWA ON US 280, ARRIVING AT 17.21 ON 15 JUNE. I WOULD THEN RETURN TO HONG KONG ON AC 113, LEAVING AT 09.50 ON 17 JUNE. THE HKGOS IN WASHINGTON AND NEW YORK HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH POSTS ABOUT PROGRAMMES.
2.
THE ONLY FLY IN THE OINTMENT IS THE PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE IN GENEVA, WHICH I WOULD WISH TO ATTEND MYSELF. THE UNHCR HAVE BEEN FLOATING DATES IN THE WEEK OF 12 JUNE. BUT THESE ARE BY NO MEANS DEFINITE AND NO DECISION IS LIKELY TO BE TAKEN BEFORE THE PREPARATORY CONFERENCE ON 7-9 MARCH. I VERY MUCH HOPE THAT THESE WILL NOT PROVE TO BE THE FINAL DATES. IF THEY ARE, I SHALL RELUCTANTLY HAVE TO REARRANGE OR POSTONE MY VISIT TO THE US AND CANADA.
3. GRATEFUL TO KNOW IF YOU, WASHINGTON OR OTTAWA SEE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THESE PLANS.
