Mr Clarke Hong Kong & General Dept.

1.

I enclose a short note on Guam. Independence looks a long way off, given the overriding American interest and the obvious strategic value of the bases there; and as far as I can gather there is little enthusiasm by the locals (now under a homegrown Governor) for genuine independence.

2.

If you come across any reports on the territory I would welcome copies for our files.
