seek your reactions to the proposal that the Government
of Hong Kong should signify its willingness to
contribute £250,000 to the Endowment Fund if a similar
sum were offered by H.M.G. I need hardly say that
this evidence that the Hong Kong Government was
prepared to do all in its power to assist the University
would be a powerful argument in favour of like assistance
being given by H.M.G.

I will communicate with you shortly on the question
of a public announcement being made in connection with
the two sums of £250,000 which are to be devoted to
capital expenditure. Meanwhile I should be grateful
for your comments on the above proposals.
