1. J CERTAINLY HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL

AND WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO SEE HIM HERE. 1 HOPE HE WOULD STAY

WITH ME.

FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF HE COULD AVOID THE WEEK BEGINNING 13 NOVEMBER WHEN THE SECRETARY OF STATE

FOR SCOTLAND IS LIKELY TO BE HERE.

3. WE ASSUME THE HONG KONG TRADE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE HERE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE ARRANGEMENTS, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE EXPECTING TWO OTHER MISSIONS DURING THE PERIOD LATE OCTOBER

EARLY NOVEMBER. WE WILL OFFER ADVICE ABOUT WHO THE GOVERNOR

MIGHT SEE WHEN WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DISCUSS THE VISIT FURTHER
