YOUR OTTER 231 OF 10 OCTOBER NORTHERN AREA OF WEST KOWLOON RECLAMATION. IN PARA 5 YOU FELT THAT IN ADDITION TO AN EIS NOTICE, MORE COULD BE DONE TO ENCOURAGE MAJOR BRITISH CONTRACTORS TO RESPOND TO THE NOTICE OF PRE-QUALIFICATION. I DULY RANG NINE COMPANIES, ALL WERE INTERESTED AND I FOLLOWED UP WITH A SHORT LETTER COVERING A RE-TYPED FAIR COPY OF THE GAZETTE NOTICE. THESE WERE FAXED TO CEMENTATION, COSTAIN, BOVIS, WIMPEY, MOWLEM, BALFOUR BEATTY, TAYLOR WOODROW, LAING AND TARMAC. ALTHOUGH I HAVE ASKED EACH COMPANY TO LET ME KNOW IF THEY INTEND TO RESPOND TO MOTT MACDONALD, NONE HAS YET DONE SO. I WILL REPORT FURTHER IF AND WHEN I HEAR FROM THEM.

2. A PROPOS PARAS 2 AND 10 OF YOUR OTTER 184 OF 21 AUGUST ALERTED PEP TO MR DOWNER OF MAUNSELL BEING IN UK MID-OCTOBER AND HAPPY TO TALK TO VARIOUS CONTRACTORS AS POTENTIAL PARTICIPANTS. AS SUGGESTED I CONTACTED BOVIS, MOWLEM AND WIMPEY, ALL OF WHOM WERE KEEN TO SEE MR DOWNER. HE HAD RECENTLY MET MOWLEM IN HONG KONG AND PREFERRED THEREFORE TO TALK ONLY TO BOVIS AND WIMPEY. NOR DID HE WISH TO COVER BEAZER/KIER PARTLY DUE TO LACK OF TIME AND HAVING ALSO MET THEM RECENTLY. ROGERS' OTTERS 231 AND 237 REPORTED RECENT MEETINGS HE AND I HAD WITH BEAZER AND KIER.
