YOUR TELNO 541: SELINA CHOW'S CALL ON LORD CAITHNESS.
1. SELINA CHOW IS A CORE MEMBER OF THE CRC. SHE MAY THEREFORE WISH TO BRIEF LORD CAITHNESS ON HOW CRC IS EVOLVING AND ON DEVELOPMENTS IN LEGCO GENERALLY, INCLUDING THE CONTINUING DISPUTE OVER THE COMMITTEE SYSTEM. INDEED IT WOULD BE USEFUL IF SHE DID. THE MINISTER MIGHT ASK ABOUT THIS IF SHE DOES NOT HERSELF LAUNCH INTO THE SUBJECT.
2. AS A MEMBER OF BOTH EXCO AND LEGCO, MRS CHOW HAS BEEN CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CRC'S ATTACK ON THE BUDGET. SHE WAS ONE OF THOSE WHO UNWISELY SIGNED AN OPEN LETTER TO THE FS PRESSING FOR CHANGE IN THE BUDGET. SHE MAY WELL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ON THE PROBLEM THAT MEMBERS OF EXCO FACE IN MAINTAINING THEIR ''CREDIBILITY'' IN LEGCO.
3. MRS CHOW MAY RAISE THE QUESTION OF THE GOVERNORSHIP AND THE NEED TO APPOINT A NEW GOVERNOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER THE ELECTION.
