PERSONAL FOR HUM, HKD, FROM GOVERNOR
PROPOSED VISIT TO MACAU
1. I AM PROPOSING TO VISIT MACAU TOMORROW (5 JANUARY) FOR THE FIRST
TIME SINCE TAKING UP MY POST. THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE VISIT IS TO
TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PAY A COURTESY CALL ON THE GOVERNOR OF MACAU, WHO CALLS ON ME FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN PASSING THROUGH HONG KONG, AND TO FIND OUT ABOUT PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS THERE, IN PARTICULAR THE AIRPORT. MY PREDECESSOR MADE A SIMILAR VISIT IN 1983.
2. I HAVE REALISED AT THE LAST MINUTE THAT I SHOULD HAVE SOUGHT FORMAL APPROVAL TO LEAVE THE TERRITORY EVEN THOUGH I AM ONLY GOING NEXT DOOR FOR INSIDE A DAY. WITH MANY APOLOGIES FOR THE OVERSIGHT AND THE SHORT NOTICE, GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD OBTAIN THE NECESSARY APPROVAL BY DESKBY 050001Z.
