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.
