1. WE HAVE PASSED A MESSAGE TO THE CLINTON TEAM EXPRESSING YOUR
THANKS FOR THE CONCERN SHOWN BY THE PRESIDENT-ELECT ON HONG KONG
AND YOUR HOPE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MEET HIM AFTER THE
INAUGURATION TO EXPLAIN THE POLICIES YOU ARE PURSUING IN HONG KONG.
2. WE HAVE REMINDED THEM OF THE VIEWS WE HAVE ALREADY EXPRESSED TO THEM ON CHINA/MEN/HONG KONG (MY TELNO 2880). THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE OF THIS ISSUE TO US, THOUGH THEY ARE CONTINUING TO INSIST THAT MORE PRESSURE MUST BE APPLIED TO CHINA OVER HUMAN RIGHTS.
