See (387)

DAY

T-ken

23 JUNE, I ASKED WHETHER THE CHINESE HAD ANY FURTHER IDEAS

ON THIS SUBJECT. SUNG'S REPLY IN EFFECT WAS THAT THE CHINESE ADHERED TO THEIR "FIVE POINTS' OF 1975. IT WAS FOR US TO REPLY. THIS SEEMS TO TAKE US BACK TO SQUARE ONE.

2.

SUNG INDICATED THAT JOINT USE OF KAI TAK BY CAAC AND CAL WAS THE MAIN STICKING POINT. WHEN I POINTED OUT THAT IN PRACTICE THERE HAD BEEN QUITE A NUMBER OF UNSCHEDULED CAAC FLIGHTS INTO HONG KONG WHICH HAD NOT PRESENTED ANY

PROBLEMS, HE TRIED TO ARGUE THAT THESE WERE ''ISOLATED CASES''
