1.

I realise your problem, but the loss, of

both Hong Kong's senior law officers was not

foreseeable and creates a very serious problem

for them.

2. I hope that you can explain this exceptional

need to the Bermuda Government. There is certainly

by komór no intention to take actions detrimental to Bermuda.

3. As for Hobley's replacement, as I said in my

telegram Personal No 8, if after consulting your

advisers you decide that you need an outside

replacement, we will do our best to help. But

When

should be replaced in due course by a local

candidate. You may wish to consider whether this

would now

be desirable.
