/at time of issue.

I appreciate

that the vast majority of your Delegation's

output relates to the proceedings of particular

OECD committees and would be unlikely to be of

much value to the Hong Kong Government. The

sort of document which we have in mind is

your annual review, and surveys of general

interest like your despatch of 1 August, 1969.

We are asking Maddocks to ensure that the

Hong Kong Government have made arrangements

to receive copies of OECD publications of

interest to them, like the annual economic

member

surveys of labour countries and the biennial

OECD Economic Outlook 7.

Clearly what is sent must be left to your

discretion.

We do not envisage that there will

be any need to send material rating a higher

classification than "Confidential".

In any

case, we would ask you to send all such material

to:

Political Adviser,

Colonial Secretariat,

Hong Kong

and he will act as a filter before it is

disseminated for use in the Department of

Commerce and Industry.
