Dear Emmit
HONG KONG: POSSIBLE VISIT BY SAUDI MILITARY
•
we discussed earlier today, I attach a self-explanatory draft telegram to Hong Kong. I should be grateful if you could arrange for its early despatch, copy to CBF Hong Kong and Riyadh, given that the Saudis have just started Ramadan which will slow down decision making substantially.
2. Thanks for your help: sorry to bounce you with this.
Your
Martin
