CO-ORDIN..TION
The various agencies overseas are in frequent and constant touch with
their offices in Hong Kong. Those listed in paragraph 22 meet together
in Hong Kong at approximately fortnightly intervals to discuss matters
of common interest. One such matter is the question of the distribution
of literature about Hong Kong: it is hoped that when one agency produces
a feature, maximum and the most efficient and appropriate form of
distribution can be arranged through each of the agencies.
+
31. It is hoped that there is good liaison between agencies
which have offices in the same countries. In Britain there is the London
Public Relations Liaison Committee which meets regularly to discuss
activities in Britain.

CBF Hong Kong has reported Governor's request for retention of AIT in
Hong Kong for further year as follows.
2. Begins. Governor has asked that AIT should remain in Colony for
further twelve months from expiry of present tour (that is, until 31
March 1970) under same financial terms as at present. During this
period, team will have under instruction one existing Government mobile
firm team and a second which is being formed. The aim being for the
nucleus of a Government organisation to gain experience by working
jointly with ATT. For reasons mentioned in paragraph two of Reference A,
I am sure that this extra period is necessary, both to mest foreseeable
commitments, and to
This team continues to
make train up an adequate Government organisation.
It has also
a very big contribution to hearts and minds operations here, been a big
factor in arousing general awareness of the possibilities of this type
of operation. Ends.
3.
This headquarters strongly endorses the proposal. If approved request
MOD (Army) be invited to make necessary detailed arrangements direct
with HQ FARELF.

Army Information Team
Your telegram No. 204 indicated that the Army Information Team's
tour in Hong Kong could be extended until 31st March, 1969 on the basis
of the then existing financial arrangements. We have in the meantime
been examining further the means of carrying on this work on a civilian
basis, and have come to the conclusion that while we shall not be in a
position to take over the commitment by the date mentioned, we can most
effectively move in this direction at an early date by integrating
civilian personnel to work under the direction of the Army Information
Team for a time sufficient to identify and overcome any operational
problems that might arise from civilianisation.
2.
(a)
The proposal is that:
our Information Services Department mobile film team which operates in
the urban area shall as soon as possible be put under the overall
direction of the Officer Commanding the Army Information Team; and,
(b) additional supernumerary posts would be sought urgently to
enable a further team to be formed, and to enable one officer to gain
experience of the control and administration of this kind of operation.
If approval of these posts is forthcoming we can then hope to integrate
soldiers and civilians into three teams, so as to get the best value out
of the Army Information Team while it remains here.
There would not however be time for all this to be carried out and
for the necessary experience to be gained by 31st March, 1969 and I hope
therefore that it may be possible for the Ministry of Defence to agree
to a further extension of the tour in

We should, of course, under the current financial arrangements. have to
accept that if the team were for overriding reasons urgently required
elsewhere it would have to be withdrawn.

request to the Commander-in-Chief, Far East, for this proposed
