FURTHER ACTION.
Parly. U.S. of S.
Secretary of State.
For Sir Thomas Lloyd's signature
March, 1947.
Thank you very much for your letter
of the 17th March and for your offer to
release C.B.B. Heathcote-Smith on secondment
to Hong Kong for about three years to fill
the appointment of Political Liaison Officer.
We are most grateful for this offer.
As I am sure you will appreciate,
my Secretary of State would like to consult
the Governor before taking a final decision.
He is doing so by cable and I will write
again as soon as the Governor's reply is
received.
