FOR GOVERNOR FROM MCLAREN.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT WE HAVE RECOMMENDED THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE SHOULD TRY TO SPEND SOME TIME IN HONG KONG IF HE

VISITS CHINA DURING THE EASTER RECESS. PLANNING FOR THE

VISIT IS STILL AT A VERY EARLY STAGE AND THERE HAS SO FAR

BEEN NO INDICATION OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S VIEWS ON

THIS POINT,
