1. I HAD NOT INTENDED TO INTRUDE INTO THE UK DELEGATION TO THE GENEVA CONFERENCE. HOWEVER I HAVE COME UNDER SUCH STRONG PRESSURE HERE FROM EXECUTIVE COUNCIL AND OTHERS THAT I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD AGREE. IT IS OF COURSE UNDERSTOOD THAT I WOULD NOT SPEAK, BUT PEOPLE HERE ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF THE CONFERENCE THAT THEY WILL NOT BELIEVE THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT HAS DONE ITS BEST UNLESS I AM THERE.
2. AS I WOULD NEED TO LEAVE HERE ON MONDAY NIGHT GRATEFUL FOR
IMMEDIATE APPROVAL.
