TO PRIORITY HONG KONG TELNO,484 OF 21 MAY. 1974

FOLLOWING PERSONAL FOR GOVERNOR FROM SIR D. WATSON.

1. THE PROPOSALS FOR MY VISIT IN YOUR LETTER OF 11 MAY ARE FINE. IF TIME PERMITS, PERHAPS WE COULD INCLUDE A LOOK AT THE BORDER

AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF LEGAL AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ON THE GROUND, A SHORT VISIT TO THE WALLED CITY MIGHT ALSO BE USEFUL, IN VIEW OF RENEWED INTEREST HERE.

2. IT LOOKS AS IF I MIGHT NOW BE ABLE TO LEAVE ON THURSDAY 6 JUNE ON THE MID-MORNING FLIGHT TO SINGAPORE, WHICH I SHOULD LIKE TO DO IF POSSIBLE. BUT WE CAN ADJUST AS NECESSARY WHEN I AM WITH YOU.
