YOUR TELNO 1386: MR GOODLAD'S VISIT: LAW AND ORDER
1. MANY THANKS FOR THE MATERIAL IN YOUR TUR, WHICH WILL BE MOST HELPFUL IN PREPARING MR GOODLAD FOR HIS SESSION WITH OMELCO.
2. I WOULD WELCOME SOME FURTHER DETAIL ON ONE POINT. WHEN EMILY LAU WAS HERE LAST WEEK, SHE LAID INTO ANDREW BURNS AND ME ABOUT THE AGREEMENT ON PSB LIAISON OFFICERS IN HONG KONG, EVIDENTLY ASSUMING THAT WE HAD BEEN CLOSELY INVOLVED. SHE WAS PARTICULARLY ANXIOUS THAT THIS WOULD BE THE THIN END OF A WEDGE
LEADING TO GREATLY INCREASED CHINESE SECURITY ACTIVITIES IN HONG KONG. SHE ASKED ABOUT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH
THE PSB PEOPLE WOULD OPERATE AND HOW ANY RESTRICTIONS WOULD BE ENFORCED. I EXPECT SHE MAY RETURN TO THE CHARGE IN OMELCO. WHAT SHOULD MR GOODLAD SAY IF SHE DOES?
