TELEGRAMS
PERSONAL FOR GOVERNOR FROM PAUL, HKD SECRETARY OF STATE'S VISIT TO HONG KONG: 1. THE PROCEDURE I WOULD LIKE TO ADOPT FOR TELEGRAMS ABOUT ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S VISIT IS THAT THEY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO YOU AND COPIED FOR INFORMATION TO PETER
HEAP AND TONY GALSWORTHY.
2. IN ORDER TO AVOID TRIANGULAR TELEGRAMS, ANY COMMENTS WHICH PETER HEAP MIGHT HAVE WOULD BE FED IN VIA YOU AND INCORPORATED INTO A SINGLE REPLY COORDINATED IN HONG KONG. I WOULD NOT OF COURSE EXPECT TONY GALSWORTHY TO HAVE ANY DIRECT ROLE, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME RIGHT THAT THE TELEGRAMS SHOULD BE COPIED TO HIS
OFFICE TOO.
3. GRATEFUL FOR CONFIRMATION THAT YOU WILL BE CONTENT WITH THIS
PROCEDURE.
