YOUR TELNO 785: VISIT BY MR. GOODLAD.
I AGREE THAT IT WILL BE USEFUL FOR MR. GOODLAD TO HAVE A FORMAL MEETING WITH DISTRICT BOARD CHAIRMEN. WE WILL ARRANGE THIS ON 27 MAY AS YOU SUGGEST.
1.
THERE IS NO PROBLEM IN INCLUDING SARAH EVERETT ON ALL PROGRAMME ITEMS LIKELY TO BE OF INTEREST TO THE PRESS. I HOPE THAT SHE WILL STAY AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE WITH MR. GOODLAD AND THE REST OF THE PARTY.

3.
MR. GOODLAD WILL NOT HAVE VERY MUCH TIME ON THE EVENING OF 24 MAY AFTER HIS ARRIVAL IN HONG KONG. I MYSELF WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A CHAT WITH HIM. AND WE MAY WELL BE OUT IN FANLING. I SUGGEST THAT THE BRIEFING BY OSBORNE SHOULD TAKE PLACE AT 0900 ON
25 MAY.
4.
WE HAVE RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM THE BRITISH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR MR. GOODLAD TO ATTEND A DRINKS RECEPTION FOR 30-45 MINUTES DURING HIS VISIT. GRATEFUL TO KNOW HOW YOU WOULD LIKE US TO RESPOND. SEEN FROM HERE, THE PROGRAMME IS ALREADY QUITE FULL ENOUGH. IT MAY BE BETTER TO LEAVE THIS UNTIL MR. GOODLAD'S NEXT
VISIT.
