Can you arrange for
WAT
pus please
23/4/90.
1. THE LIONS CLUB AT ALBURY WODONGA (AN IMPORTANT CENTRE ON THE NSW/VICTORIA BORDER) HAS ASKED ME TO BE THEIR GUEST SPEAKER AT AN INTERNATIONAL NIGHT ON 26 APRIL AND TO TALK ABOUT HONG KONG. THEY HAVE ALSO ASKED IF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR ME TO BRING A 16MM FILM WHICH COULD BE SHOWN DURING THE EVENING.
2. I HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MATERIAL AVAILABLE SUCH AS RECENT SPEECHES MADE IN AUSTRALIA BY BARRY WIGGAM AND JOHN CHAN.
I WONDER, HOWEVER, WHETHER YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP OVER PROVISION OF A SUITABLE GENERAL FILM (OR VIDEO) PROMOTING HONG KONG? IT MAY BE THAT YOU COULD ALSO LAY YOUR HANDS ON A RECENT SPEECH MADE BY EG THE GOVERNOR, WHICH WOULD PROVE A USEFUL QUARRY FOR ME.
3. I SHALL ALSO LOOK WITH INTEREST AT THE EXCHANGES IN PARLIAMENT WHEN THE HONG KONG BILL IS DEBATED NEXT MONTH: IT WOULD THEREFORE BE HELPFUL IF PAMELA MAJOR (HKD) WERE ABLE TO FAX TO ME SUITABLE TEXTS SUCH AS THE OPENING AND CLOSING SPEECHES
BY FCO MINISTERS IN THE DEBATE.
4 I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH HKTDC IN SYDNEY WHO ARE UNFORTUNATELY NOT ABLE TO HELP OTHER THAN WITH PROVISION OF JOHN CHAN'S RECENT SPEECHES.
5. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF YOU WERE ABLE TO CONFIRM WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE ABLE TO HELP OVER PROVISION OF A FILM/VIDEO BY 5 APRIL.
