Sir A. Galsworthy

Selection of Projects for Possible Additional Expenditure Overseas in the Non-military Field

Your minute of 19 August covering the above circular, your copy of which I return herewith (I have my own copy).

2.

The same idea had occurred to me. The

project to be put forward is not, however, the one tentatively made by the Governor last year but Hong Kong's latest proposal for a Polytechnic. I attach a copy of my minute to the Planning Staff in which you will see that I have made use of the arguments in your minute.

3. I have done this with Mr. Christofas' knowledge although I understand that he considers the Foreign Office initiative to be based on a misunderstanding of Cabinet minutes in that no "additional" aid has been authorised or can be

expected for these purposes.
