FOLLOWING FOR MR, ROYLE'S PRIVATE SECRETARY.

MR. ROYLE'S VISIT. SATURDAY 11TH TO WEDNESDAY 14TH NOVEMBER.

is

I WOULD LIKE TO USE THIS VISIT (A) TO BRING MR. ROYLE UP TO DATE ON OUR NEW PROGRAMMES FOR HOUSING, EDUCATION AND SOCIAL WELFARE, AND (B) TO BRIEF HIM ON MAJOR CURRENT TOPICS SUCH AS CRIME AND CRIME PREVENTION, TRADE, FINANCIAL AND MONETARY MATTERS (INCLUDING MASS TRANSIT, THE RECONSTITUTION OF THE URBAN COUNCIL AND THE KEEP HONG KONG CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

2.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE MR. ROYLE TO HEAR BRIEFLY ABOUT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE GOVERNMENT INFORMATION SERVICES (JACK CATER), GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE AND PROCEDURES (THE MCKINSEY TEAM), NARCOTICS (COMMISSIONER FOR MARCOTICS), TELEVISION AND FILMS (NIGEL MATT),

3. I THINK THESE BRIEFINGS SHOULD BE HANDLED IN AN INFORIAL WAY GO AS TO INCLUDE VISITS AS WELL AS SESSIONS IN OFFICES. GENERALLY SPEAKING THEY SHOULD NOT BE IN GOVERNMENT HOUSE, SO THAT MR. ROYLE CAN GET THE ATMOSPHERE OF HONG KONG, AND BE SEEN TO BE CETTING AROUND AND INFORMING HIMSELF.

4, UMELCO WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A LUNCH FOR HIM. WOULD HE LIKE THIS TO BE MEN ONLY, OR WOULD BE PREFER TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY MRS. ROYLE? ON THE WHOLE MY ADVICE WOULD BE MEN ONLY, OTHERWISE NUMBERS BECOME TO0 GREAT FOR A WORKING GESSION.

5.

HE SHOULD ALSO MEET THE URBAN COUNCIL, I SUGGEST FOR DRINKS.

6. Y K PAO HAS SUGGESTED HE GIVE A DINNER. THIS WOULD BE ALL RIGHT, BUT MR. ROYLE HAS SEEN A GOOD DEAL OF HIM IN LONDON, AND I WONDER IF IT WOULD NOT BE MORE USEFUL IF I WERE TO ASK SOMEONE LIKE HAROLD LEA TO GIVE AN INFORMAL DINNER AT WHICH MR AND DR3 ROYLE COULD FEET A REPRESENTATIVE GROUP?
