"
1 THANK YOU FOR TURS. MR GOODLAD ACCEPTS ALL THE POINTS IN PARAGRAPH 2 OF YOUR TEL NO 1280 AND THE ADVICE IN YOUR TEL NO 1279. HE PREFERS TO STICK TO THE ORIGINAL ARRIVAL TIME CON BA27). HE WILL GRAB SOME EXERCISE IF THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF DURING THE COURSE OF THE VISIT. MR GOODLAD HAS NO DIETARY REQUIREMENTS (BUT DOES NOT EAT TOMATOES EXCLAM).
2. FOLLOWING A SUGGESTION FROM ALLEN LEE (WHO CALLED ON THE MINISTER ON 12 MAY) MR GOODLAD WOULD LIKE A MEETING WITH DISTRICT BOARD CHAIRMEN. HE RECOGNISES THAT HE MAY MEET SOME OF THEM AT TAI PO OR AT THE COMMUNITY LUNCH, BUT WOULD ADDITIONALLY WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY OF A MORE FORMAL MEETING TO HEAR THEIR VIEWS ON GRASS ROOTS ISSUES. SEEN FROM HERE 1600-1645 ON 27 MAY LOOKS TO BE ONE POSSIBILITY.
3. IN ADDITION TO RICKETTS AND TIBBER, MR GOODLAD WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SARAH EVERETT, THE NEW HONG KONG DESK OFFICER IN NEWS DEPARTMENT. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF SHE COULD BE INCLUDED, WITH OSBORNE, ON ALL PROGRAMME ITEMS LIKELY TO BE OF INTEREST T THE PRESS. MR GOODLAD WOULD WELCOME A SHORT (15 MINUTES)
MEETING WITH OSBORNE TO BRIEF HIM ON THE LOCAL PRESS EITHER ON
THE EVENING OF 24 MAY OR EARLY ON 25 MAY.
