Hong Kong Long-Term Study

I very much hope (and so do Sir L. Monson and

Mr. Laird) that the Cabinet Office can be induced to

agree that the Governor of Hong Kong should have his

own copy of the "Long Term Study". The case is clearly

set out in Mr. Wilford's letter to Mr. Hudson of March 13

of which I now attach a copy. A major part of the

responsibility for giving effect to the policies set

out in the paper will fall upon the Governor and he will

need to refresh his memory periodically on what it is the

paper actually says. There would be no difficulty

about removing the Secretary of State's cover note to

K(69)1 and I imagine that it would be perfectly possible

to put the substance of K(70)1 in the form of a letter to

the Governor.
