As I told you, we shouli vory much like to issue a statement here to the ofrect that there are no high level talks progressing on the issue of Hong Kon] • I anderstalk, however, that you would not feel able to agroc to such a abate hont without sabrii&ting shi Matser to the Doorsbary of
Gate for lureiga! Akīsies and that in any case you would wish to know exactly that lord Ammon did say tu hanghai.
by the time that has begu done, the moraont Tor isening the statemens would probably have pestod. However, we think that it might be se well in cly case to find cut exactly what Lord Armon did say. If you agree, perhaps you would ask our bascodor at lauking.
