I suggest the time has now come to put

Hong Kong in the picture.

A draft telegram

is attached, If this is agreed, any further telegrams from Washington could be repeated to

Hong Kong at time of issue,

2.

The telegram to Hong Kong could also be repeated to Tokyo, UKMIS Geneva and the other

posts concerned to put them in the picture as

well.
