TELEGRAM NUMBER 837 OF 21 JUNE, 1979.

(51) MY TELNO 819: SECRETARY OF STATE'S VISIT.

1. MY PARAGRAPHS 5 AND 6. WE CONSIDER THAT SECRETARY OF

STATE WOULD GET THE MOST USEFUL IMPRESSION OF THE REFUGEE PROBLEM IF HE COULD VISIT THE REFUGEES AT THE GOVERNMENT DOCKYARD AND ALSO BRIEFLY SHAM SUI PO CAMP. CUTTING OUT REFUGEES SHIPS, THIS MEANS ARRIVAL AT FANLING LODGE 13.2% LEAVING 1 HOUR 15 MINS. FOR LUNCH AND SWIM, BUT WE ARE TRYING TO IMPROVE ON TIMING.

2. SUGGESTED PROGRAMME IS SUBJECT TO GOVERNOR'S VIEWS ON HIS RETURN BUT IT WOULD BE A HELP TO HIM AND ORGANISERS TO KNOW WHETHER PROGRAMME AS AMENDED IN PARAGAPH 1 ABOVE, WOULD

BE ACCEPTABLE TO S OF S.
