+THE HONG KONG INSTITUTION IS NOT THE APPROPRIATE BODY TO DEAL WITH THE 'ACROSS THE BOARD' INTERESTS OF TECHNICIAN ENGINEERS, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND I COULD HARDLY SAY THAT ON MY RETURN TO HONG KONG, I WOULD GIVE THE NAMES OF THE 22 TECHNICIAN ENGINEER INSTITUTIONS HERE AND HOPE THAT SOME OR ALL OF THEM WOULD CORRESPOND WITH THEM.+

HE ADDED THAT IT WOULD NOT BE AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK TO DOUBLE THE MEMBERSHIP IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
