As Professor Channon will not be available "for some time ahead" either to serve on the proposed Advisory Committee or to discuss its terms of reference, may we seek authority to approach the persons listed below who it is agreed would be suitable to compose this Committee?

Mr. A. Morse

Mr. N.L. Smith

Mr. C. Cox Dr. Kauntze

Presumably in addition Mr. Rowell and Dr. Fehily should be asked to serve as temporary members until they go abroad with the Hong Kong Planning Unit.

As far as I know no steps have yet been taken to consider the staff and the equipment and supplies that will be needed to run the University on even an emergency footing, while at the same time everyone agrees that it will be most important to get the Medical School, at least, restored as soon as possible. It will be for the Committee to consider these matters or to recommend the appointment of one or more persons to do so.
