Dear Gordon

1. I enclose a summary note of your discussion on ECGD matters with the Governor of Hong Kong. I hope this is helpful. I know that you and other recipients will treat the record of the Governor's remarks very carefully. It is naturally most important that they should not be quoted back in such a way that they might surface in Hong Kong. This applies both to the Governor's estimate of the future of the scheme of control and even more to his remarks about the future of the territory itself.
