Dear John,

KOWLOON WALLED CITY

LAST PAPER

PA

3 February 1978

In case you do not have it, I enclose a copy of a useful background paper on the Walled City prepared in 1974. I certainly found it useful in giving a historical prospective to discussions going on here about the possibility of lowering some of the buildings because of aircraft safety requirements. If you already have the paper you may wish to pass it on to Research Department.

Yours ever

(I C Orr)

Assistant Political Adviser
