letter of the 18th instant, reference 92640/32 regarding
the transfer of the Government wireless services in Hong
Kong to this Company, and in reply to inform you that we
are prepared to agree the amendments to the draft
supplementary agreement proposed by the Governor, which
are set out in your letter under reply.
2.
Regarding paragraphs 2 and 3 of your letter
we note that the Governor has asked that the Company
may be pressed to arrive at a decision without delay
in regard to taking over the wireless services, and you
suggest that if the Company agrees the alterations to
the main agreement, suggested in your previous letters,
we should proceed with the preparation of the revised
draft of the main agreement as soon as possible.
3.
As you are aware, the supplementary agreement
was originally drafted on the assumption that it would
be signed either at the same time or subsequent to the
completion of the main agreement. The Company has
been prepared for some time to take over the working
of the existing services but it is not in a position at
the present time to commit itself to the terms of the
