Thank you for your letter (6/6/5, INDIV) of

21 November, both for the news of Hong Kong which it

contained and for the reminder you have very

properly given me that the newsletters between your

office and mine have lapsed. I am afraid that I

have no better excuse for this than preoccupation

with other matters, of which there is/an abundance

in this Department. Pris does not mean that I

always

think that we should not attempt to revive the trend:

I do. But I regret that it does mean that I am

no longer as optimistic as I was that this exchange. of newsletters could be maintained ak a frequency

which will satisfy either of us on the score of

your regular briefing. Some other sort of mechanisen

will have to be introduced, and I take the point

you make yourself that this should ensure your full

and speedy briefing on those subjects which from

time to time crop up in dispute between the Hong

Kong Government and ourselves. I will give further

thought to this and I will in any case try to see

that this New Year's Resolution to keep you in the

picture is better kept than last year's.
