PERSONAL FOR COX, HKD.
FROM PS/GH.
HONG KONG DEPARTMENT VISITS/CALLS ON MINISTERS LIST.
1.
THANK YOU FOR THE LATEST ISSUE OF YOUR REGULAR LIST (DATED 14 AUGUST). WE SEE THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE IS SCHEDULED, ALBEIT TENTATIVELY, TO VISIT HONG KONG ON HIS WAY TO THE ASEAN TALKS IN MANILA IN LATE OCTOBER. WE APPRECIATE THAT THIS IS SOME WAY OFF, BUT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHAT THE CHANCES ARE THAT THIS VISIT WILL COME OFF. I HAD PREVIOUSLY UNDERSTOOD (FROM PETER RICKETTS) THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD PROBABLY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE THIS TIME.
