YOUR TEL NO 127 TO BTC HONG KONG: COAL FROM CHINA.

1. THE LAST WE HEARD OF THE KADOORIE PROPOSALS WAS A BRIEF MENTION IN SIR DEREK EZRA'S REPORT ON HIS TRIP WITH MR DELL. HE HAD APPARENTLY BEEN TOLD BY HSU TSAI-LIEN, VICE MINISTER OF COAL INDUSTRY, THAT C L P'S PROPOSAL WOULD BE DEALT WITH SEPARATELY TO ANY COMPENSATION PROPOSALS IN CONNECTION WITH THE TWO COAL MINES WHICH N C B ARE TO DESIGN AND WOULD BE NEGOTIATED CONCURRENTLY BY THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN TRADE, KADCORIE HAS RECENTLY EXPRESSED HIS CONCERN ABOUT THE LACK OF A RESPONSE TO THE D 0 1. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF YOU COULD DISCOVER FROM THE MFT WHAT THEIR INTENTIONS ARE.
