Other organizations wh will be invited to attend are the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, the Hong Kong Association, the Hong Kong Tourist Association, the Hong Kong Students' Office, the Hong Kong Chinese Liaison Office, and the Committee of Shipowners Employing Chinese Crews.

I shall be grateful if you will let me know whether your Office agrees to be represented on the Committee, and the name of your representative, by October 16th.
