PERSONAL FOR PS/GH FROM RICKETTS, HKD
MR PATTEN:
1.
INAUGURATION SPEECH
WHEN I SAW MR PATTEN OFF AT THE AIRPORT THIS EVENING, HE SAID THAT HE WANTED TO INCLUDE A REFERENCE TO DEMOCRACY SOMEWHERE IN HIS SPEECH. TO ACHIEVE THIS, HE WOULD LIKE TO AMEND PARA. 16 (IN THE VERSION IN OUR TEL NO 1044) TO READ AS FOLLOWS: QUOTE YOU HAVE AS WELL A GOVERNMENT IN WHICH THERE IS DEMOCRATIC PARTICIPATION BY THE PEOPLE OF HONG KONG AT EVERY LEVEL, A GOVERNMENT SUPPORTED BY A FINE PUBLIC SERVICE UNQUOTE.
2. YOU WILL WISH TO ENSURE THAT THIS CHANGE IS REFLECTED IN THE PRINTED AND CHINESE LANGUAGE VERSIONS.
