4. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF YOU COULD MAKE THESE POINTS TO THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT IN ADVANCE OF THE MANZIE/DEWE MATTHEWS VISIT. YOU MIGHT ALSO ADD THAT, ACCORDING TO MANZIE, THE ECGD APPROACH IS CONSIDERABLY MORE HELPFUL AND FLEXIBLE THAN THAT BEING EXPERIENCED BY AJC'S JAPANESE PARTNERS FROM EXIMBANK. THE MESSAGE IN SHORT IS THAT BOTH THE AJC AND HMG ARE TAKING THE PROJECT VERY SERIOUSLY AND ARE WORKING HARD ON THE
