1. First definition of AE and IUR of Wessex and Scout helicopters will be independent upon a study of the garrison's helicopter support requirements to be conducted by CBF Hong Kong during 1989.
2. Serial 2 reduction is dependent upon assumption by RHKP of the majority of military tasks and responsibility for the whole border, permitting reduction of the garrison's half company IS lift requirement to a simultaneous platoon lift.
