Q
YOUR TELNO 1745: LEGCO MOTION DEBATE: EXCO/LEGCO RELATIONSHIP
1. WE HAVE ONE COMMENT ONLY ON THIS DRAFT SPEECH. WE SUGGEST YOU OMIT IN PARA 4 THE PHRASE QUOTE AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNQUOTE. WE REALISE THAT THE PROPOSITION IS SELF-EVIDENT. BUT WE THINK IT WILL BE BEST TO CONFINE THE SPEECH TO AN EXPOSITION OF THE SYSTEM RATHER THAN GIVING COMMITMENTS FOR THE FUTURE SO THAT THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF MISUNDERSTANDING.
2. WE ARE SHOWING THE SPEACH OVERNIGHT TO MR PATTEN AND WILL LET YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS FROM HIM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ON 30 JUNE.
