FOLLOWING FOR POLITICAL ADVISER FROM GEORGE

YOUR LETTER OF 2 MARCH: GOVERNOR'S VISIT

1. THE PLAN OF CAMPAIGN LOOKS FINE. IT WOULD HOWEVER BE HELPFUL TO KNOW WHAT DISCUSSIONS ARE PROPOSED FOR CANTON. WE HAD ASSUMED THAT THESE WOULD BE PURELY ON LOCAL MATTERS (SEMI COLON) BUT WE HAVE HAD A HINT THAT LI QIANG MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE IN PEKING AND WOULD SEE THE GOVERNOR IN CANTON.

2. NO DOUBT..1 SHALL HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE THE BRIEFS WHEN I AM DOWN IN HONG KONG. BUT IF YOU COULD GET COPIES UP HERE BY BAG IN

ADVANCE OF THE VISIT THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
