"As Chairman of the Campaign Committee, I confess to modest

satisfaction with the progress we have made so far. However, what we

have done is only the first step towards a really clean Hong Kong, which

is our final target. For that, we shall work continuously and unfailingly,

though it might take years to achieve. Already the Campaign Committee

has started on its 1973 phase in continuing the fight against the bad and

ingrained habits of indiscriminately dumping litter and refuse. This

second phase is scheduled to start in the latter part of this year, and

annually thereafter there will be a development of our Keep Hong

Clean' theme. In a campaign of this nature, wholehearted support from

the Government and from every individual in the community must and will

be sought. I believe that just as in the recent major clean-up, we

shall again be able to rely on the combined efforts of you all here

today, and of your colleagues, to provide the essential backing in the

field, for which I once again thank you in the name of the Campaign Committee.

"It is my pleasure now to introduce his Excellency the Governor,

Sir Murray MacLehose, who wishes to address the gathering."
