RADIOTELEPHONY CALL SIGNS. DO YOU ANTICIPATE NEEDING MORE THAN
THIS QUERY.
4. THE REASON I PRESS THIS POINT IS THAT, IF WE COULD LIMIT HONG KONG TO ONE SERIES, EG VS, IT WOULD INVOLVE SOME DISRUPTION FOR HONG KONG BUT WOULD MINIMISE DISRUPTION TO OTHER DTS WHICH WOULD
MAKE IT EASIER TO SELL THAT OPTION IN LONDON. IF YOU COULD
PROVIDE THAT CLARIFICATION I WILL REVERT TO THE HOME DEPARTMENTS.
I AM AFRAID WE SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET YOUR TARGET OF HANDING A
PAPER TO THE CHINESE BY THE END OF MAY BUT HOPE TO ENABLE YOU TO
DO SO IN EARLY JUNE.
