It is realised that on the resumption of civil

valeabl therefore, that it would be the very greatest assistance
if you could find time to meet them before your return to
Hong Kong. They also think that it might be useful to you
to see a rough draft of the recommendations which they experto
will embody in their report to the Secretary of State.
I have therefore been requested to ask you whether you
would be able to meet the Committee at their meeting to be
held at 2.30 on Tuesday, April the 9th, in the Conference Room of this Office (Downing Street) In the hope that you
will be able to do so a draft report is at present in preparation which it is hoped to send you before that date.
