"24 Hours" Twogramine горашие

The Hong Kong Goverment office in London Lave had an approad from the BBC " 24 Hours" programme about the effect on Hory Kory of Peritaci's entry into

the rec.

Sellers has exported this affroach to the thoug Kong Goverment who widently saw in this a useful offortuinty of putting found the Hong Kong view hout.

be have awauged with sellers that, if he gets a further affisade from the BBC, he will try to find out when the programme will be shown and he will check with us before passing anything on to the BBC. He has written asking for our ideas in Low the BBC's queries might be answered.

I have shoken to E.(.D. who would prefer to hear what Kaufined during the Reffor's vint to Hong Kong before giving an auswon to sellers' letter. Provided that the BBC do not couse back to the Hong Kong Covement Office before the Riffon's return, this will be the best course to persue. If, however, the BBC later the matter up in the interim, it will be uncersary to give Hong Kong quilence on what they should say,
