PERSONAL FROM TRENCH.

After discussion with MacLehose we think

the most convenient dates for the hand-over

Governorship would be for me to leave on or

about 1 September and for Maclehose to arrive

on or about 21 September. The opening meeting for

the new session of the Legislative Council could

then be held on or about 20 October. Grateful

for your observations on this proposal.

2.

MacLehose has asked whether handing-over

briefs could be prepared in time for him to see

them in May, with topping-up briefs prepared for

him on arrival in Hong Kong. Do you think we

can manage this?
