Hong Kong

In his telegram No. 601 of 13 May, the Governor of

Hong Kong has suggested that we should reiterate the request,

made in the 1961 negotiations, for a form of associated status

for that territory. I think that this would be a complete

waste of time, and of our bargaining capital, and I suggest

that we should make it clear to the Governor that his idea

is not a starter.

I attach a draft reply accordingly.
