Noted.

Your paragraph 224. Aersed. You are to prepare a Reinforced

Theatre Plan and submit it to us for anproval.

4. Your paragraph 220. We do not agree that, at this jungture, any

planning should be put in hand for the withdrawal of Service families.

If this were to be done there could well be a leak of information, which

would adversely affect the maintainence of confidence, which is the key

to the problem in Hong Kong. We do not consider that there would be any

evacuation of Sonvice families from Hong Kong excent undar senditions

of an emergency evacuation. Furthermore there are many other families

to be considered.
