we see merit in your visiting Guangzhou in October for

discussions which we assume will range wider than

immigration.

We note the importance you attach to

assurances from the Chinese that they will contribute

in a joint effort. We assume, however, that you will

still wish to go ahead with Champion even if firm

Chinese raise objection. We note that steps have

already been taken to required as from 15 September the

carrying of Identity cards throughout the New Territories

and outlying islands, less New Kowloon, Tsuen Wan, Kwai

Chung And Tsing Yi Island.
