4. SIDNEY GORDON WILL TRY TO CONTACT KADOORIE IN U.S. A TO GET HIS
PRELIMINARY REACTION TO OUR BID. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT MITSUI AND OTHER POTENTIAL CONTRACTORS ARE REMINDING CLP THAT TIME IS RUNNING SHORT FOR CLP TO ISSUE SPECIFICATIONS IF THE TRANSMISSION LINE IS TO BE COMPLETED BY THE SCHEDULED DATE. I KNOW THAT CLP HAVE OTHER OUTLINE BIDS IN THEIR POCKETS WITH WHICH TO COMPARE OUR PRICE.
5. AT LUNCH TODAY I DISCUSSED WITH STONES YOUR LETTER OF 15 AUGUST (COPY RECEIVED IN THE TENDER DOCUMENTS) ABOUT THE DELAY ON SITE INVESTIGATIONS AT HAMMER HILL AND HOK UN. YOU SHOULD BE IN NO DOUBT THAT STONES IS INTENSELY IRRITATED AT COMPLAINTS ABOUT HIS ORGANISATION BY CEGB AND OTHERS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO HIS ATTENTION. MAY I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT IN FUTURE NO ONE IN THE DEPARTMENT SHOULD AGREE TO DEAL WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT CLP'S ORGANISATION UNLESS I HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THE SHORTCOMINGS WITH STONES AND/OR SIDNEY GORDON AND REPORTED THAT THERE IS A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. I HOPE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT STONES AS THE CLP DIRECTOR MAINLY RESPONSIBLE FOR DRIVING OUR PACKAGE OFFER THROUGH THE CLP BOARD DOES NOT WELCOME ALLEGATIONS THAT HE IS FALLING DOWN ON HIS OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE POWER STATION AND EHV TRANSMISSION DEVELOPMENTS.
6. SPEAKING AS A PERSONAL FRIEND HE HAS REMINDED ME THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO CRITICISM ABOUT HIS PERFORMANCE ON UNITS 1 AND 2 AND HE BELIEVES THAT THE D.0.1 SHOULD FULLY INVESTIGATE THE MOTIVES BEHIND THE CEGB PERSONNEL WHO ARE CRITICISING HIS PERFORMANCE ON THE EVH TRANSMISSION LINE BEFORE REPORTING THEM TO HIS CHAIRMAN. WHY IS IT THAT THE CEGB PERSONNEL IN HONG KONG
DO NOT BRING THEIR COMPLAINTS TO MY ATTENTION ?
MARCH
